Antique Handmade White Cotton 2 Pc Lawn Dress outfit Blouse / Camisole & Skirt / Petticoat Slip with Lace and Embroidery.Believe this was worn as blouse and skirt, but could be worn underneath too, especially if the bottom of the camisole blouse had more elastic or ribbon.
LOVE LOVE the Bustle Sides on the Skirt with French lace...hangs lovely.
There is Hand Embroidered Round sun like Designs on skirt and blouse. There is doubled ruffled lace around the color and sleeves.
The bottom of the skirt has pin tucks and the same embroidery pattern. Also french insertion lace.
The bustle down the sides is hemmed in the same lace.
The Waist is 25" and tightly gathered with a waistband as shown. Has an extra 2 1/2" between the 2 hooks and eyes so maybe could be worn looser or on a larger waist.
Length is 32" long. Hook and eyes are on the front side, I believe it would be worn like that with the Bustle ruffles down each side.
Top is 16 1/2" long. 22" laying flat under the arms so 44" total around.
Sleeves are 6" long.
There are 6 pearl buttons down the back of the blouse. 5 are hidden. Very well done. There is a snap on the neckline.
Very nice condition for age. There are a few minor holes in the skirt, I think in back. Cotton is a thin tissue like cotton made for summer. There is a 2" X 2" repair handsewn near the back waistband, that is not very noticeable due to the tight gathering. If I miss anything they would be minor flaws.
VERY LOVELY SET TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION AND STILL TOGETHER.
