1800s Somber Beauty Dress Ensemble | Antique Victorian Two Piece Black Wool with Ivory Floral Print Glass Button Up Bodice and Skirt | Small

You'll fit right in wandering around English moors searching for your love in this simple but beautiful two piece Victorian dress set! Both pieces are made of fine lightweight wool in black with a pattern of pansies in ivory. The bodice has a lovely nipped waist with points on the front and back, geometric glass buttons up the front, mutton sleeves, knife pleating radiating from the waist to the shoulders on the front and back, wrist padding, and light boning. The skirt is very full with a heavily gathered cartridge-pleated waist and hook and eye closure. This set is in great vintage condition, with two replaced/similar buttons, subtle well done period mends, and some light staining and mothing that gets easily lost in the skirting fullness and no odors to note.
