Of superb and perfectly preserved grenadine
fabric in unusual patterned stripes, the gown
features a fitted bodice with faux-button front
and collar lapels, hidden waistband evolving into
flat-front skirt and full box pleats around the
sides and back, centered by an inverted pleat at
center back. The gown closes with hidden hooks
and eyes at the front and is decorated with hand-
applied fuschia linen banding that edges the
matching buttons, lapels, cuffs and shoulders.
The bodice is fully lined. Along with a fine
velvet chenille cap of matching vibrant fuschia
color, designed to fit snugly to the head,
trimmed with black beads. Circa 1865.
Appropriately sized for 18" poupee.
