item number #SOLD0005-20090207-54 MAGNIFICENT Civil War 1860's Lilac CHANGEABLE silk taffeta Velvet dress Sold Antique Items- Study Sold Costume Items- Study Sold Dressmaker Items- Study This is a fabulous example of a Civil War summertime dinner dress made for a married lady (who enjoyed watching heads turn as she walked into a room!) or even a fancy evening gown. The soft iridescent molten lilac into white shimmers and changes from light to dark as the light changes. There's a heavy-weight pink velvet lapels, trims and bows for effect similar in color. Self fabric buttons. Boned on the inside. Glazed cotton innards. Would be fabulous for a collection! Condition: Strong, wearable condition although I don't suggest it for garments this old. Light wear at some edges but not bad. A few minor spots. Made for a petite lady under 5"5." This item is sold and no longer available. For ordering, go to "Order this item" toward bottom of page.
