Description

vintage Antique victorian 1880s Volup bustle dress As Is. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
Antique Victorian bustle dress being sold entirely as is.
Dress is two pieces - bodice and skirt. Both the skirt and bodice are trimmed with lovely bead work.
PLEASE READ= the skirt l is dropping beads like crazy because the thread holding the beads on is disintegrating. Everytime I love this dress beads scatter across the floor. Expect more of the same.
Besides the beads there are holes/damage to the silk.
Skirt has no closures and may have been altered waistband wise at some point. Bodice has lovely buttons. While I am selling for study only- it is Unique because it is a larger size. It is too big on my 25” waist dress form by a few inches. Petite length. This is shown without the needed bustle underneath. No bustle included
Ask questions as this is being sold entirely as is. Would be a great piece to study or pull a pattenr from if you can handle the bead loss.
Props, dress form, background are not included. All sales final. No returns.
I have a cat. Non smoking home but no idea where this has been before I got it.
