Super chic with the perfect “Palm Royale” vibe. I could not fully close the dress on the mannequin (see back side images) but you get the idea. The torch was passed. From an estate collection in NYC.
I can not of course be sure without the feel of fabric, but I also think there is probably a bit of linen in the fabric. The sleeves are not truly fashionable for the 1890’s. This makes sense as fashion books ( the Godeys and Petersons mostly ) did not reach areas past Chicago swiftly.
