AN elegant suit from the late Victorian Era, circa 1890's.

The suit is made of black silk - 2 pieces - jacket & skirt.

The jacket has a wide black voile collar & black voile trim down the front, decorated w/French knot embroidery.  Long curved sleeves, fitted waist. V neckline.  Decorated in front & on the cuffs w/rows of black silk covered round domed buttons.  Fastens at the waist w/heavy snaps.  Unlined.

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.
