Description
For 17"-18" poupee. 14"l. overall. 4" shoulder width. The two-piece ensemble features a dark-shaped fitted jacket of silk lined sheer muslin with self-covered button front and square-cut collarette, flanked by sheer muslin sleeves with very wide pagoda shaped sleeves, and with a very opulent multi-tiered bustle at the back, above a flat-front flared skirt with very full gathered and demi-trained back. The jacket and skirt are both accented with generous lace edging and coral silk bows. Very good condition, few small tears of muslin at the back skirt. French, circa 1870.
