Black Silk Pleated Dress

C. 1900s Lovely black handkerchief silk dress with knife pleated leg-o-mutton sleeves and pigeon waist bust. High rounded neckline and upper bodice is done in a self stripe black silk edged with black crocheted lace. The full sleeves end at the elbow region with a narrow lower sleeve. Matching black crocheted lace accents the division. The skirt at one time may have also been knife pleated but I think some fool steamed it out, the pleating can still be seen up at the waistline seam. The bodice is set on an inner camisole bodice with hook and eye closures.  

SIZE: BUST-36", WAIST-24", LENGTH-47", SHOULDER WIDTH BETWEEN SHOULDER SEAMS ACROSS THE BACK-14

Black Silk Satin Victorian Dress

C. 1890s Lovely black silk satin dress in two pieces, a waist and full skirt. The waist hooks up the center front and is accented there with a jet beaded net ruffle. Vertical pleats further accent the front of the waist. Around the neckline is a standing collar edged with a matching jet beaded net ruffle and a small white silk chiffon ruffle set on the inside of the neckline. I think this bit of white was added later as this, I believe, is a mourning dress and would not have had the white. On each shoulder is a large matching black silk satin bow that drapes over to the front and the back of the waist. Black jet bead dangles hang from the ends of the bows draped edges. The sleeves are long and very narrow with black beaded rope trim around the wrist. At the top of the sleeve the fabric is caught up and under to create a bagged ruffle. Around the bottom edge is matching black beaded rope trim. The back of the waist has a center inverted vee-shaped pleat that begins at the shoulder blades and narrows to the very center back waist. The waist is fully boned and lined. The lovely skirt is of matching black silk satin with the fullness gathered to the center back. The quality of the fabric is very high as is the workmanship although no label is to be found on the garment.
