Breathtaking! ! Wonderful teal/blue & white pinstriped bustle skirt and bodice. What is even lovlier about this ensemble is that there is a purplish shine. Darker blues are close to the actual color. The purple did not translate much. Very pretty silver buttons (missing the top 3), beige lace and some major pleating and folds in the skirt! There are of course some issues due to age. The underarms are stained and there are some random spots on the bodice of the same color. The lace is delicate and could be removed. Bodice and skirt have no major holes or tears, except the waistband. The waistband has a roll over backing for support. I believe it is fully restorable or fixable. The bodice is small but would make a lovely pattern or display piece. The bodice measures approx. 28\" (give or take w the missing buttons) and the skirt approx. 22\". The skirt could be added to and raised up in the back due to the bustle being attached to about 1.25\" dropped waistband of the same material (see last image). Please ask if questions. Thank you.
