This gray and black silk pinstripe caplet is lined in brown cotton and is trimmed in black lace. The silk has spots, some splits and small holes and wear. The lace is torn off on one side and loose on the other side and in the back. Lace needs repair. It is a fragile piece but a good example of Victorian fashion . It would be a great pattern piece or inspiration piece.
Elegant in its simplicity, classic design, short sleeve dress by Gerard Pasquier Paris.
Machine wash. 100% polyester.
Original silk fabric (believed to be silk). Rich navy blue color. Authentic circa 1885 Victorian bustle-era dress. Condition is remarkable considering its age.
The ribbon and lace trim evoke the charm of handmade heirlooms, while the chest embroidery adds a delicate flourish that whispers of autumn afternoons and cozy gatherings. 🧵 Made in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, this top carries the spirit of decades past with grace and vibrancy.
