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-119- XS Black Beaded Silk Overdress - $400.00

Era - Teens
Measurements - Fits 30 inch bust, 20 inch waist
Fabric - silk

I know, this is terrible on the floor, but it would not fit on my mannequin to show the front. Fabulous black silk lace overdress. All sheer, tapered skirt. The front snaps and has some pleated rust colored silk at the front of the waist. Lots of Jets beading and sequins over the front and the back of the bodice and sleeves and around the border of the skirt. Groups of beads and sequins on the body of the skirt. There are dangling sequin covered balls on the ends of the sleeves and around the skirt. Unlined, all sheer. The photos on the mannequin are on the back of the dress.

Condition - Very good to excellent condition. It's in amazing condition. I see no holes and no missing beads. The brown tulle base is browning from age though. The snaps on the front are corroded and really need to be replaced - I had to open the by putting my fingernail in them and prying them open, because the fabric might tear of you just pull on them. The fabric appears to be nice and strong. Slightly wrinkled on the back of the skirt because I didn't want to steam it.

Measurements - 15 inches long, fits 30 inch bust
Fabric - silk

Sheer silk with embossed stripes. Faille base with cotton lining, boning for structure. There are 20 carved glass buttons down the front with metal loops on the backs of them.

Condition - Bodice is in fair condition with alot of tearing in the fabric. Silk is shattering across the front. Shoulder seams are both unsewn down through the lining too. Alot of wear around the collar. Those 20 buttons are in excellent condition though, and the price is based mainly on them.

#VIC-121- Black Bodice w/Awesome Buttons - $60.00

Era - 1800s
Measurements - 15 inches long, 13 inches across shoulders, fits 30 inch bust, 22 waist
Fabric - wool

Textured fabric with a slight pattern. Very fitted bodice with high collar, gathered silk across the bust and 6 very cool buttons. I believe that are gutta percha buttons, and it looks like Lilies of the Valle on them. The buttons are 1 inch. Bodice top section hooks and then closes with the buttons. Cotton lining with boning for shaping. The bottom of jacket and sleeves are trimmed with Jet beads and some flat carved beads.

Condition - Good condition. Fabric is torn around one of the hooks on the collar and around 2 of the buttons. There is 1 button missing. Beads are missing from ends of sleeves, neckline and bottom of jacket. The 6 buttons are in excellent condition and they figure highly in the pricing of this jacket.
