#72 Satin finish Brocade Leigh (43-L in patterns). Includes ball bodice, skirt/underskirt w/matching brocade flounce added
to the aqua polished cotton underskirt hem. This dress started out fitting women w/bust of 40-45" & waist of 40-44". It has
additional back panels added to accommodate a bust of 44-48+ & waist up to 50+". Pale beige/sea foam silk organza under
sleeves, matching brocade pagoda sleeves that can be hooked into the armscye under the short sleeves for day/tea wear.
Matching brocade cape. The silk & rayon lace trim (pagoda sleeve hems, cape trim, short ball sleeves/neckline) is tinted to
match the 'sea foam' ground of the brocade. All of the brocade flowers are shades of peach, pink, some pale yellow/gold and
shades of aqua/bluish-green for the leaves/vines. The ground is grayish-green. Hence the title: Sea foam. Matching evening
silk hair flowers- 1 or 2 piece coronet & coordinated mitts/gloves are included. The entire dress is lined w/polished cotton.
The ball bodice is piped. Eyelets w/silk ribbon on the ball sleeves. Silk ribbon in the neckline lace. The original design for this
dress is from Canada. It was designed as a bride’s reception dress. I have also found an original CDV from England that
shows the identical design as the bride’s wedding dress. This dress was first made for a bride who was wed in VA. @ Fort
Shenandoah. The entire wedding party was dressed in period clothing. Worn 3 x’s. (Originally $950.00).
Prince of Wales Suit; Black merino wool.
(6 Pieces in this Set.) Frock coat was tailor-made using 2
original tailcoats, original silk twill used to bind the collar,
front, & hem edges. Original silk twill covered buttons
used on the front, tails, & sleeves. This was the
prototype used to teach classes on 19th century
tailoring, & model for several other coats from
the same 1890 original coats. Black silk satin
lining. Includes: Frock coat w/original peg trousers,
original vest, formal shirt, vintage braces & silk tie.
