This fresh pink two-piece ensemble is from 1900, consisting of a silk taffeta pigeon breast bodice with cuffed petite long mutton sleeves & cream lace bodice panel, and a soft cotton skirt with a 5 1/2\" hem ruffle. It is quite clean and shows little signs of wear. The top is lined with tan cotton and inner boning with 12 hooks closing the inner panel of the center front, 6 more hooks closing bloused panel under the right arm side, and 3 hooks on the right shoulder by the ruching. The back has V-shaped tucks in its center. I see three small brown stains hidden in the folds of the of the pigeon breast front near the waist & a couple pinprick holes. The top\'s waistline is 23\" The skirt is 22\" at the waist and closes with a white abalone button. It is lined with a light tan canvas material. There is a bit of rust spotting on the waistband by the button. These were purchased in Illinois near Chicago.
