Elegant 1890’s Black Plush Velvet Caplet

This is an amazing Victorian accessory from the 1890’s and is called a caplet. It is made of a plush velvet. It is lined in a burgundy taffeta which I believe to have been a replacement for the original lining. It was very well done. The dress form I have it on has 15 inch shoulders but this was created in a style where anyone could wear it. It is 85 inches around the bottom. From the front neck to the hem is 10 inches. There are threads around the edges so there was most likely beads, fringe, lace or fur sewn all around the bottom and the front. It is sturdy and wearable. It does have a museum tag sewn in at the neckline. It would be great for exhibition, reenactment, a Haloween party or even the Opera.
