Authentic Silk 1880s Victorian era bustle dress gown vintage collector costume:
$499.99

Hello, up for sale is the beautiful authentic historic period Victorian silk dress. This is not a reproduction. I am not sure of the exact date on this, it was a purchase online which stated the dress is from somewhere on the 1880s. This sale is for a silk pinstriped bodice and under/over skirt. The black bustle is not included as it is not part of the original dress. The dress when purchased never came with the original bustle. Both bodice and skirt are very damaged. I have taken over 20 photos for the potential buyer to view. I included the most damaged parts of this dress. It is basically not wearable, and should be considered for purchase as a collector\'s item. It probably can be worn but it must fit exact to the body measurements this dress was made for and just know the dress is in a very fragile condition and the silk might tear more. It is very petite. Height would work best for someone 5\'6 to 5\'8. Bust measurement of bodice is 30\", waistline of skirt 24\" and hips up to 36\". Some parts of the bodice and skirt were repaired by me. I show the repairs on my photos. I added some new buttons to the bodice that were missing, I repaired some of the holes with black raw silk, I added some hook and eye closures to the inside bodice lining and skirt lining (which was holding the black bustle on). These I am leaving on and including with this dress when shipped. Please send me a message for a link I will send to all 22 close up photos of this dress. only allowed 12 and will not allow links to be posted on this sale. USA buyers please pay $12 S&H fees shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Payment is due in full upon sale\'s end. All International buyers please pay $50 S&H fees. International packages will be shipped via USPS Economy International shipping. If you have any questions please don\'t hesitate to ask and send me a message here. Thank you for looking.
