These aprons were originally worn over the bustle dress and tied around the waist.

Black silk material with matching lace edged trim.  Heavily beaded to front as pictured.  Tie waist to top.

Measurements: top to bottom 21.5", top of waist without ties measures 10", measures across including waist ties from end to end 61"

Condition: excellent.  Faint mark to front right as pictured-doesn't deter from overall condition.  Glass beadwork to front overall excellent.  Rear silk lining slightly worn in patches consumate with age. 

A very nice, clean and original example.
