Seller: sadira33610 ✉️ (2,228) 100%, Location: Wesley Chapel, Florida, US, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 311781509378 ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR ERA SUMMER DRESS c.1864 VICTORIAN.                                                     *** Please ask all questions prior to buying***   This listing is for an original lady's summer dress from the Civil War period. It's one-piece. The fabric is a lightweight muslin, almost a gauze, fancifully printed with oviod spots. There are subtle bands of striping woven in as well. Understated, but complex! The design and color reminds me of giraffes! The bodice is lined in off-white cotton and designed with a yoke and gathers. It features dropped shoulders with the customary piped armholes and Bishop sleeves. Th e skirt is unlined, but faced for about 5 inches with self fabric and is bound at the hem with wool hem tape. It's gathered all around the waist and fastens at center front.  This is really a great dress and a great period example from right in the middle of the War! To note: it appears to have been altered a little during the period, updated perhaps. A narrow strip of skirt was removed from center back and the gathers were rearranged to be flatter in front. It looks like a c/1860 dress was just updated around 1864 or 5. The original darts were let out. I have resewn them using modern boning for the whale bone which would have been used then. The dress can be easily handled with care and is highly suitable for display, as well as patterning and study. The collar, belt and pin shown are for display only and are not included.   Condition: Structurally sound with some fray to the placket and cuffs. There are scattered small holes, several repairs (at least 2 are period) and patches. There are a couple of small fade spots. The buttons are original replacements. Please see photos and ask questions.  Measurements are: The bust is 38". The waist is 29". It is about 18 inches across the shoulders. The skirt front length is about 38.5 inches. Please note: Measurements are approximate and should be taken as maximum. Antique clothing items are not wearable UNLESS specifically labeled so in the description.
