Black 2-pc. Dress
This 2-piece black 1800's dress was purchased from a Wisconsin family. It was grandmother's dress probably worn for her wedding and for every special occasion. The dress does have problems but it is a wearable size. The top has both tucking and cording decoration. The blouse measures shoulder to shoulder, 11 inches. The bust measurement is 35 inches and the sleeve measures 23 inches from top of shoulder to the cuff. There is a 2 inch cuff on the blouse. The Gibson Girl collar is detachable but the collar is starting to come apart. That can be fixed. The skirt has satin trim. There are holes in the trim but these too can be repaired. The waistband measures 32 inches and it is 40 inches from the top of the skirt to the floor. Because the dress is black not all the details can be seen. This is true also of the flaws. Please use the As A Question Button if there is anymore you would like to know about this dress.

Brown 2-pc.
I love this dress in spite of its problems. It is very small but you can just picture a victorian miss going out for the day in this dress. There is an underskirt which measures 41 inches from waistband to floor in the front and 43 1/2 inches from waistband to floor in the back. The bottom 13 1/2 inches of the skirt material matches the coat. Unfortunately a large piece has been cut out of the hem in the back. The hole measures 7 inches by 8 inches. I found one repair in the folds of the dress in the back that has been repaired probably using the piece that was cut out. The repair is interesting in itself because you can almost picture this young girl making sure her favorite Sunday dress is wearable. The waist band measures 25 1/2 inches and closes with 1 hook and eye. The skirt is gathered in the back and falls straight in the front. There are two small holes near the waistband and one tear on the waistband itself. The coat has wonderful detail--even a pocket. The coat closes with 23 buttons all covered with the same material and all in pretty good condition. The stand-up collar is trimmed with the same darker brown satin that trims the cuffs and the hem. The bust measurement is 32 inches. The coat is very form fitting. The sleeve length is 23 1/2 inches and the coat front measures 47 inches and the back measures 58 1/2 inches long and it sweeps the floor. The cuffs go from 4 inches deep to 5 1/2 inches. These are also trimmed in dark brown satin and a matching button. There are two wide bands of brown satin trimming the bottom. Each is 1 1/2 inches wide. The pocket is trimmed in brown satin as well. There are two horizontal tears in the front of the coat and a stain. The stain may come out. There is also one small hole on the bottom edge of the coat in the front. I can just picture this dress on a dress form in a Victorian foyer greeting guests. The pictures can't show this dress off so please if you have any questions be sure to "use the Ask A Question button."
