Description

Item Description
Be sure to read our shipping terms below prior to bidding.
Please check my seller's list for more antique lace & vintage clothing. This great estate find is for an antique Victorian silk gown ensemble including a long dress, slip, and bonnet with fancy lace inserts and other details. Gown has mother of pearl buttons in the back. Bonnet has ribbons and remnants of ribbon bows or embellishments. Slip has an unusual waist line (no buttons, hooks, or closures so perhaps this would have to be pinned to something or attached to the dress somehow?) Everything shown is being sold together-I won't sell anything separately. Measurements are approximate-to the best of my abilities. I'm not a seamstress. Gown measures approx 38" long from shoulder to bottom of hem, sleeves are about 7" long from shoulder seam to cuff, & cuff opening is about 2 1/2" across. Slip measures approx 36" long from top to bottom. Bonnet, when laying flat and stretched out is approx 8" from ribbon to ribbon and about 6" more or less from top to bottom. Please email with questions or concerns prior to purchase. This is an antique lot. Condition is what one should expect for an item of this nature. The silk has some light staining/browning here and there, typical breaks in lace detail (a small section coming undone/worn to the lace trim on the back of the gown), typical wear to the bonnet-wear indicative of age and use. You're getting these items just as I did. While they're not perfect or mint, perhaps they would be suitable for a doll, display, upcycling or museum study piece? Any cleaning, restoration, or ironing will be left to the buyer's discretion. Lot is sold strictly AS IS & found. Shipping & insurance is .00. FINAL SALE, no returns or refunds. Please check my seller's list for more unique estate finds (including an antique Victorian silk wedding ensemble from the very same estate.) I'd be glad to combine shipping on multiple purchases whenever possible. Thank you
