Description: DATING TO THE LATE VICTORIAN 19TH CENTURY FASHIONED OF A COLONIAL BLUE COTTON FLANNEL BACKED FABRIC. THE COLLAR IS IN A BLONDE WORSTED WOOL THAT IS PLEATED WITH NOTCH COLLAR TRIMMED IN A BLUE SILK SOUTACHE CORD BOW. CLOSES INVISIBLY IN THE FRONT WITH POLISHED SHELL BUTTONS BENEATH WITH A SINGLE SOUTACHE KNOT AND CORD CLOSURE ATOP THE FRONT. BELT WITH THE SAME CLOSURE. THE FRONT, BOTTOM AND REAR ARE ALL IN SUCH UNUSUAL HAND WORK THAT IS ACTUALLY A PROCESS OF BURNING THE FABRIC AS WELL AS BLEACHING THE FABRIC WITH HAND PAINTING ADDED ATOP. IT IS SO VERY UNUSUAL AND THE CUFFS ARE IN THE SAME DESIGN. CONDITION: THERE IS A STAIN ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH SIDE THAT RUNS UP TO THE BELT AND ENDS. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT CAUSED THE STAINING, MOST LIKELY FROM STORAGE. I PERSONALLY WOULD MAKE A VENT OR SEAM AND NONE THE WISER. THE DRESS IS OTHERWISE EXCELLENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO SMALL HOLES TO THE COLLAR AND A NIP TO THE COLLAR BINDING. SUCH A VERY RARE PIECE OF HAND WORK. A TRUE PIECE OF ART FOR A SPECIAL CHILD.
