From a historic Cape May, New Jersey estate comes this exquisite walking dress. Incredible details abound: the unique sailor style collar is made of intricate floral patterned lace and finished with a jaunty net mesh bow, and an adorable matching purse is attached to the right side. Stunning all over silk chiffon is black plaid on the body with sheer black arms and contrasting ruffled cuffs, creating a sophisticated look for the distinguished Victorian lady.
Poor condition due to extensive shattering throughout of the top layer of plaid chiffon. Large tear has caused the hem to be partially removed (please review photographs). Lace collar is in very good condition, as is attached purse. Interior bodice is in good condition. Bow is detachable and secured with pin. Hook and eye closures at inner bust, waist, side, and front. Shoulder to shoulder is 16 inches, chest is 40 inches, waist is 32 inches, and hips are approximately 42 inches. Shoulder to hem is 56 inches, and waist to hem is 40 inches.
