This is a beautiful skirt and a great example of Victorian clothing. There is a button closure on this skirt, The skirt is wonderfully heavy, and has gorgeous flounces at the bottom which give a great texture and flair to the skirt!
This is a lovely example of mid-Victorian mourning style, with a high neck and long gathered luxurious chantilly lace all around the circle hem. Rows of black glass beads adorn the black silk faille material of the capelette, and a row of beads is partially hidden in the silk ruffle between the top of the cape and the wide black lace.
The shape and detailing also support the date: a cropped, collarless bolero silhouette with slightly puffed sleeves and decorative corded soutache appliqué on the front. Similar construction, fabrics, and motifs are seen in pieces from Bavaria and southern Germany, Austria/Tirol, Switzerland, Hungary, and the Balkan regions, all of which used dark wool, soutache trim, and hand-finished interiors in their folk jackets.
From the early 1900s. You can not wear this- it is old and delicate and irreplaceable.
