It has the cutest tails in the back with rows of more bows. The original color was likely not quite so brown/orange, but the discoloration is fairly uniform.

Lined with cotton and boned all around. Padded in the bust and underarms. Buttons down the center front.

It appears as though a couple of the seams were let out (historically, not recently).

A really beautiful piece, perfect for study but also wonderful for display!

Measurements

30" back length with tails

Condition

Great condition for her age but best for study or display due to age and fragile nature of the silk taffeta. General wear from age with some of the flaws noted below:

* Discoloration throughout

* Some small splits/tears in the silk

* Place on one shoulder that looks like a piece of tape was removed

* Boning peeking out from one of the channels

Overall good condition for such an old piece, and intact with all buttons and bows!

This is not a wearable piece, as the silk taffeta would be at risk of being damaged.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Houston, TX.
