Beyond. Amazing antique calico dress with winged cap sleeves and dot embroidery trimming around the double ruffle lined bodice. The silhouette is very wearable for a dress of this age. Semi-fitted bodice has a buttoned muslin inner lining (with hand stitched godets) and hidden snaps over the front. Then a massively full ruffled hemline. There is some code handwritten in the lining, it looks to say “1870s”, we believe is was archived at some point, maybe from a prop house or museum collection.
• Size XS/S (see measurements)
• 100% Cotton, crisp and medium weight
• Bodice has tailored lining with buttons
• Snaps down front with buttons underneath
• Good condition, amazing for it’s age, but there are some newer mends and repairs. The fabric shows very little wear overall. Snaps look newer but buttons look original.
– belt not included
• Style No. D2418
