Antique-Gown

Black Wool Walking Dress, ca. 1906

Two-piece antique walking dress or street costume, ca. 1906. Made of black wool. The dress is made for autumn or winter. The jacket is very elaborately designed. Knotted ornamental elements let it become an eye-catcher. The skirt is pleated box-shaped, consisting of four symmetrical skirt parts, which are decorated with soutache applications. The ensemble is well preserved. On the outside even very good. The jacket is missing the lining on the inside. The waistband of the skirt would need to be replaced. Discreet signs of age and wear. With a few repairs: still well wearable today. The decoration (breast insert and jewellery) is not included.
