# 3981 - c. 1890 NISELL ROBES, Buffalo, New York Bronze Colored Faille with Ombre Striped Moire Silk Promenade Gown!  With Original Brasstone Filigree Ornamental Buckle!  ONE PIECE! WEARABLE SIZE!  Fantastic gown! This piece is in near mint condition! Really incredible.  Like it was made yesterday.  Even the interior is lovely! And my favorite part? The "rope" ornament used to "piece together" the "carwash" skirt panels and even on the sleeves!!! Fantastic! (Oh, I already used that word... what do you want from me... it IS fantastic.  And I refuse to use the WAY over-used word "amazing". Not everything is amazing folks!  Amazing is, well, amazing. Please remember that!).   Check out the photos to see the watered effect moire striped silk bodice, belt sash, cuffs, neck, and underskirt.  The skirt skirt has the off-white lace dust ruffle inside, as well as the bronze faille pleated hemline peeking out from under the striped moire silk underdress.  Fantast... oh never mind!!  There's really nothing else to say.  The photos will show everything you need to know.  Measures: 36" bust, up to 28" waist (length of petersham!), 14" around neck, 12" across back between armseams, 61" long from shoulder to hem in front, 45" from waist to hem, 66" long from shoulder to hem in back. This, folks, is one of the great ones!
