Item Tag 36 (see notes)

ANTIQUE DRESS e r a : late Victorian early 1900s f a b r i c : super soft cotton and what feels like a flannel c o l o r : black, white with contrast stitching in yellow f a s t e n e r s : belt, MOP buttons d e s i g n e r : handmade d e t a i l s : Absolutely stunning early 1900s black floral cotton wrapper in the softest cotton/flannel fabric. This is belted at the waist, has long sleeves that widen at the elbow to the wrist, a v neckline with ruffled winged color with bright yellow contrast stitching, inner bodice with MOP buttons, a Watteau style back with a small train. This has a very loose fit without the belt - typical of a wrapper. So cozy and perfect for cooler weather. Really interesting recycled fabric was used in the inside - possibly from a flour sack. Hidden pockets. Comes with original provenance details - a lovely hand-stitched textile with original owner and a hand-written paper. ______________________________________________ c o n d i t i o n : This is in rare excellent condition - with inky black color. There are a few chips on the inside buttons. _______________________________________________ s i z i n g : this should fit a modern XS-M, but please use exact measurements below. NOTE: I was able to wear this by leaving the inside buttons undone - I am a large to extra large. If you button the inside buttons, the measurement will fit up to a 36 inch bust. m e a s u r e m e n t s (inches) : length: 52/57 (from shoulder to bottom hem - front/back) bust: up to 36 (or left unbuttoned inside for a larger fit)waist: 34 (unbelted) or belted for a smaller fit hips: openshoulders: 16arms: 24-25 Thanks for looking! NEED TO KNOW: ✦ MOST sales are considered final. Returns can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis if there is a significant error in the listing. Time is spent to give accurate measurements on each item, so I unfortunately can not offer returns for items that do not fit. TERRASITA also can not accept returns on undergarments, bathing-suits, or items from the 1920's or earlier due to their fragile nature. Additional absolutely no returns or exchanges on Layaway items. ✦ Vintage clothing is pre-worn and pre-loved and as a result some pieces may show signs of wear or use. I carefully inspect each item and disclose any signs of wear in our detailed descriptions. ✦ If you have any questions about fit, color, or need any additional photos, please don't hesitate to ask questions before you decide to purchase. I want you to be happy with your item! ✦ SIZING - Vintage clothing sizing does not reflect modern standards. When determining size, make sure you account for enough room to move comfortably. Additionally, vintage clothing is more fragile and should be worn with this in mind. Occasionally there are seam allowances or darts that can be removed, as well as tailors that can alter a vintage item to fit your particular shape. When determining size I recommend measuring the following: HIPS: measure around the fullest part of your hips. BUST: measure over the fullest part of your bust while wearing a bra. WAIST: measure around the smallest point of your natural waistline. SHOULDER TO WAIST: measure from the very top of your shoulder - where the seam would lie, down the front, over the bust, to your waistline. LENGTH: measure from the top of your shoulder, down the front, and to the point where the hem would be. Inseam measurements for pants would be measured from the inside of the leg at the very top of the groin, down to the hem. ✦ SHOE SIZING - I tale actual measurements inside the shoe from toe to heel, as well as width measurements inside the shoe as accurately as possible.
