Curator Notes

Fair condition. Taffeta material has shattered due to stains. Two buttons missing from bodice. Wrinkles have been released as much as possible without damaging garment. Evidence of garment having been re-made due to unpicked seams throughout skirt and trim. It is possible an older, outdated garment was taken apart and re-made into this bodice and skirt ensemble, following a common practice of the time.
