{"product_id":"l-29","title":"Antique Victorian Calico Cotton Voile Walking Suit S\/M","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn incredible piece of fashion history! Late 1800s Victorian 2-piece walking suit, comprised of a pigeon-breasted blouse with sewn-in cream cotton undergarment and a sweeping skirt. Blouse undergarment layer buttons up the front, then slits are sewn into calico front for button stays or possibly a ribbon to be laced through, Skirt has hook and eye closures, would have been worn with a bustle hence the gathered fabric and longer hem in the back. Made from gauzy cotton voile fabric, semi-sheer with delicate printed white flowers. (front panel of skirt is the most see-through as it has fewer pleats than in the back. I modeled it with white bloomers underneath, I may recommend a darker petticoat to bring out the blues in the voile and blend in better!) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize S\/M \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eshoulder seam to seam: 13”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebust: 37”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewaist: 29”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003elength: 19.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eskirt: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewaist: 29”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003elength (front) 44”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Extremely good for age.
