This is an amazing example of early 1900s ball gown.

It seems to be a very nice silk with jacquard floral print. Very good condition for age. Although there is a long of fabric I did not see any material rot or major stains or damage. It is about 100 years old so don't expect perfection.

What I did see was some stains on the muslin bodice lining. there is some pit stains and light sweat stains but these did not seem to bleed through to the outer garment amazingly. Hard to find worn silk that doesn't have light stains from sweat.

The other thing I noticed was that the front bodice has had zipper replaced, it seems like an older repair but there is some hand stitching that you can notice if you are looking for it.

I don't mind it but if you where wanting to have a professional seamstress to repair or replace to bring to near perfection that is an option.

It is unlined from bodice down and has a long train and a finger hook that is held on at moment with a safety pin but easy fix.

I have not cleaned or washed item and it may have a few light marks I missed.

No size, probably custom or hand made.

All silk and the muslin lining. Could be much older than I am listing.

Measurements of bust, waist and hips are flat back seam to seam so please double. There is darts in bust and also it is a low cut with princess waist so you can be bustier if you want to flaunt it.

Would make a stunning wedding dress.

Bust - 16. 5"

Waist - 14"

Hips - 30"

Length from mid shoulder front - 62" Back from mid Shoulder - 84"
