Sorry, Additional photos of this gown are no longer available. A fine gown!The heavy weight blue velvet/ taffeta striped shell clings to the form and has a large taffeta bow at the knees. There's a blue taffeta shadow striped underskirt with thin velvet stripes.
The bodice is very tailored and curvy, with a form-fitted, fully boned (whalebone) interior. The sleeves have no poufs at the shoulders, leading down to cuffed and "V" contrasted sleeve cuffs. The high mandarin neckline is just stunning. Must have cost a fortune at the time to have this made! Finely piped. The inside is neatly tailored of tan polished cotton twill, and all the edges have been firmly and deftly overcast. Also, has all complete brass hooks and eyes). Wonderfully made. Large bows ow on the gathered rear.
Condition:
Few pinholes. Near mint condition. One of the best bustle dresses- ever.
