If you are buying these pieces to wear, they must be worn carefully, please keep in mind that they are 80 to 100 or more years old. Most of the items are all in good condition but please read the descriptions carefully for listed flaws. I cannot guarantee the wearability of older garments like these. I cannot predict how long they will hold up with wear. I think that most of the pieces are better for display.

#VIC-202- Brown Velvet Skirt - $30.00

Measurements - 32 inches long, fits 25 inch waist, full hips
Fabric - cotton velvet

Mystery skirt, It is definately older, like pre-1920s, and has been altered at some point. It is a brown cotton velvet. The waist has been gathered by hand and stitched onto a older white cotton waistband lining that has short strips of boning in it. The skirt closes with two hooks on the side of the waist with a few snaps below them. The fake pockets have been handstitched on the front with a decorative button on each. The skirt is unlined except for some brown cotton handstitched around the inner 6 inches of the hem.

Condition - Very good condition. It has some blemmishes in the velvet and some light colored dirty spots. The white cotton lining the waist is aged and dingy and so is the fabric lining the hem. Still a very nice wearable piece.
