Antique Victorian Bustle Skirt & Bodice Grey Coral Silk Floral RARE Size LARGE
$ 450.00
Antique 1890s-1900s Victorian Skirt Set Grey Coral Silk Floral Lace Trim Sz L
The bodice is not boned but has an inner vest. It is lined and exceptionally well made, as the edged seam allowances show.
The skirt has a spot for a bustle, but I didn't have one to push it out. The front lace trim can be removed, but it is loose if you want. It has a hook and eye closure. Unlined.
Both pieces are in excellent condition. The only flaw is a couple of minor wear spots ( SHOWN) on the front top of the skirt. There are a couple of tiny ones in the skirt, but no other holes. Even the underarms on the top are in great shape and have no stains.
This is shown on a size 12 mannequin and it was a little too big for it so I fell it would fit a 12-14 perfectly. That in itself make this a rare piece!
