Late 1880's Early 1890's Mourningwear Black Silk Ladies Two Piece Ensemble with Soutache Cordwork
A late 1880’s to early 1890’s black silk mourningwear outfit, with cordwork trim. The condition is fair, the silk on the sleeves and bodice is badly shattering.
The bodice is fully boned, and flatlined with waxed brown cotton. There are a couple of missing cloth covered buttons. The skirt has an inseam pocket.
The skirt has a linen lining, both pieces show signs of alteration and repair.
This piece is best used for study and pattern reference, given its condition.
