- c. 1902 Ivory Silk and Lace Trained Dressing Gown!
Wedding Trousseau? You know when we think
back to our "previous lives", we were
always rich enough to afford the best. None of us
were the Downstairs Maid!! No... we were the Lady of
the House... the BIG house... ah, heck... the
mansion. Anyway, obviously we were like the woman who
did own this sensational dressing gown - and
this gown is in such good condition, that I will
assume that it was part of her wedding trousseau and
worn only a few times. All made of the finest ivory
colored silk satin ribbons with alternating stripes
of dotted net lace insertions. Flouncy wide hemline,
cuffs and collar. As romantic as you can get. Has a
lining of same color silk which buttons up the front
of the bodice and lines the skirt which is open at
front to show some leg if you so desire. Ribbon at
neck and waist to close. Slightly pigeon front bodice
for the fashionable "s" curve Gibson Girl.
Measures: 36-37" bust, 29" waist, 60"
long in front from shoulder to hem, 67" long in
back. Excellent condition, with extremely minor
"gotta inspect for" tiny, tiny age spots
and two tears in the silk lining, one at armhole, one
near hem. It's really in amazing condition for a silk
garment of this era! You will love it! You gotta
trust me!
