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.

It also has a ton of decorative crochet balls on sleeves, bodice and hem of the upper skirt. It closes with hooks down the back and the lace panel hook on the side.
