The skirt is a classic 1890's style w/a set-on waistband & a few gathers in front. Back has many small gathers at the waist. The front is trimmed w/2 long tabs of fabric. each w/a row of covered buttons. Small train. Fastens w/hooks & eyes.
Size - small. Actual measurements of the suit - Jacket bust 34", waist 24", length 16", sleeve 22". Skirt waist 22", hips 38", length front 36", length back 38".
Condition - overall good. However, the suit is easily 120 years old & has a few flaws. A few pindot holes near back waist of jacket. 2 small holes on lower side. Sleeves appear to be tacked-in. 3 missing buttons. Skirt is good except for a rip on the inside lining of the hem (looks like the original owner caught her heel!). Otherwise good.
