Reception dress made of brocade fabric, ca. 1855, origin: England. The fabric is blue-grey and interwoven with small white flowers. The antique dress is a one-piece. The bodice has long pagoda sleeves that are attached in two cascades. They are decorated with small silk flowers and silk ribbons. Blue silk flowers also adorn the top. The top closes at the front. The skirt is pleated at the waist. It falls like a bell. The inside of the dress is lined with brown, glazed cotton fabric. The pagoda sleeves are lined with blue silk. In very good to excellent condition. A great dress that has delighted and impressed us. Very authentic. It must have cost a fortune in 1855 - if only because of the fabric.
