Description: DATING TO THE 1850’S FASHIONED OF A PRINT COTTON WITH A TAN GROUND IN A RICH FLORAL PRINT AS WELL AS A BLONDE COTTON AND WOOL BLEND FABRIC THAT IS SIMILAR TO A CHALLIS WOOL WITH DARK TAN AND GREY AND BLACK FLORALS RUNNING THROUGHOUT. HAND HAMMERED HOOK AND EYE CLOSURE UP THE CENTER FRONT WITH THE CLOSURE TRIMMED IN FINE FRENCH KNIT BOB BUTTONS IN MATCHING TAN HUE. PIPED NECKLINE, SLEEVES SET OFF THE SHOULDER WITH PIPING AND EPAULET AND BOTTOM PAGODA SLEEVE TRIMMED IN THE COTTON. THE COTTON BANDS RUN ACROSS THE CHEST WITH SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, UNUSUAL TAILS THAT FALL FULL LENGTH DOWN WITH A ROSE PATTERN ON THE INNER SIDE OF EACH. THE INTERIOR IS LINED IN UTILTARIAN COTTON TWILL WITH GLAZED COTTON IN THE SLEEVES. STRIPS OF BONING ARE ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT. CONDITION: THE REAR SEAM EDGE SHOWS TRACE STITCHING AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS ONCE SKIRTING ATTACHED AND I BELIEVE THAT THE TAILS FELL LOOSE FULLY DOWN THE FRONT AND MAY HAVE ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM EDGE HEM ONLY. THERE IS ONE ERASER SIZED HOLE, AS PICTURED, ON THE TOP LEFT TAIL WITH SOME SMALL STAINING SEEN TO THE INNER LINING, UNSEEN FROM THE EXTERIOR. AN ERASER SIZED HOLE IS ON THE REAR, JUST BENEATH THE NECKLINE WITH AN ERASER SIZED HOLE TO THE MID BACK THAT IS ON A FOLD, A GRACEFUL STITCH WOULD HIDE.
