Victorian - Edwardian Dress Sheer Black Cotton Mourning Dress XXS

Description

Inventory no: Wdr 989
Wonderful 1890-1905 black slightly sheer cotton mourning dress.
I believe this dress was original made in 1890 and had a pigeon
chest,and then about 1900 was altered to more of an edwardian look.
Extra fabric is still there, it was never cut away.
The dress has a tiny 22 1/2" waist but a fuller chest.
There is 20 abalone buttons down the back,all the button holes
are hand sewn.
Double pleats on skirt and wonderful black lace details.
