Description
Of a fine crisp purple/plum silk,the gown features
a low-
rounded neckline above a dart-shaped bodice and
tiny waist.
The skirt with all-around pleats is very full and
given added
shape by an unusual self-piping at the bottom of
the hem. The
sleeves are an extravagant pouf formed by pleats
at the
shoulders and cuffs,and hold their shape by an
internal straight-
cut sleeve lining. The dress is fully
muslin-lined,hand-
stitched,and has hook and eye closure. Circa 1830.
