Own a piece of late Victorian history with this Tailored Walking Suit, dating to the late 1890s. This two-piece set features a unique wild mussel shell button, elegant velvet facing on the collar, iconic puffy sleeves, a shaped and fitted bodice with slight chest padding, and a luxurious gray silk satin lining. The skirt is designed with a hook eye closure, gores, and a narrow waistband. While structurally sound with very little staining, this antique garment presents with a fair amount of moth damage and is missing one button. This is an opportunity to acquire an authentic example of late 19th-century tailoring, offered as is due to the noted imperfections. Ideal for collectors or those interested in historical fashion.
