- c. 1899 Navy
Wool Twill "Military Inspired" Tailored
Gown! As "Girlish" as the women's
clothing was in the mid 1890's, at the turn of the
century, for a few years anyway, the fashionable look
became extremely tailored! A few years later, circa
1903, "Frilly" became vogue. So these very
tailored gowns were only in vogue for 2-3 years. Too
bad! Great look! :) Navy blue wool twill two-piece
outfit with brass studs, ecru lace front bib,
interspersed ecru flannel, with blue velvet trim.
Fabulous military design! A Striking outfit... all
she needs is a rakish matching hat and light beige
leather gloves. A rich, understated look. The sleeve
cuff detail is a classic look of the year. The only
issue is that the velvet is a bit "rusty"
at back skirt. Measures: 30" bust, 24"
waist, 26" waist skirt, 24" ribcage,
42" long skirt.
