Extravagant ball gown, ca. 1887. French label: Mme. Craignac * 30 rue Alsace Lorraine * Toulouse. The dress is a two-piece consisting of a skirt with a long train and a top. There are two elements that are typical of this dress: it is covered all over with lace. And: it is decorated with bows made of silk. The lace on the skirt is arranged in parallel rows. The semicircular train can be adjusted inside with ribbons. The skirt is lined inside with a cotton-linen fabric. The top is reinforced with corset stays. Label on the waist band. U-shaped neckline decorated with lace. Good to very good condition. We did not find any tears in the lace and silk. Some of the lace has darkened - probably from storage. Stained back section. Two stains in the front area. An exceptional dress with a certain charm. The decoration is not included.
