Exquisite Edwardian or Victorian Black Wool Walking Suit
Item Number: SUIT45102
COST: $99.00
Measures:
  • Bust: 36
  • Waist: 28/30

  • Sleeve: 23.5
  • Back of Neck to Jacket Hem: 33
  • Waist to Hem: 38
  • Lower Width: 72
  • Tag: None
Condition: This is a suit to treasure! I am not sure if the jacket is original Victorian, or if it was made at a latter date for a costume. I do believe the skirt is bonifide Victorian or Edwardian era though. Both pieces are wool, the jacket is a heavier suit weight with corded trim on the edges and has black velvet trim and buttons. One of the velvet buttons in the front is fraying and will get worse with repeted buttoning and un buttoning. There is also a small repair on the back belt (which is velvet) on the coat. It is partially lined in satin. Skirt has hooks and eyes on the side and is not lined. I did not find any holes in the wool. This is an amazing suit at an amazing price!

COST: $20.00 AS-IS price

Measures

  • Bust: 36
  • Waist: 28 (very tight 30)
  • Hip: 38/40
  • Shoulder: 18
  • Shoulder to Waistline: 16.5
  • Waist to Hem: 30

  • no tag

Condition: Totally unique milk chocolaty brown rayon dress with a velvet cord lace in the front. V neckline and dolman sleeves. I have never seen a dress like this before and I doubt I will again! Unlined and possibly home sewn. Overall in excellent condition, dress does not show signs of wear around the neck or underarms, but there is a small fade spot on the hem in the rear where the middle seam is, it is about 1 inch long and a shade lighter than the rest of the dress. I do not think this detracts from the beauty of the piece, nor the value (although if perfect I think I would ask for more). The dress is otherwise solid, clean and ready to wear.
