A stunningly designed skirt and top in a beautifully puffy brocatelle. I might well have been haute couture given in its lines and the fineness of fabrication. The skirt has snaps and a hook and eye at the backside which gathers the fabric into a bustle-like feature (it has pleats that assist this bustled style). The bottom hem has 3 tiers of fabric folds for added weight and style (as pictured). 2 hanger loops inside the waistband. The top has a decorated front with a white and black striped silk inset. Bordering the striped decoration, are 2 rows of floral appliqué. The collar is velvet with a pretty embroidered touch. (Note: The neck does not fit our mannequin.) The shoulder and wrists are subtly raised and puffy. The top is constructed with numerous hand sewn stays (as pictured). Overall, the condition is excellent. We note the obvious deterioration of the top center inset. Which could easily be replaced with comparable fabric. There are a few pulls in the fabric, and in general, it shows some light aging here and there. But no splits or tears. The seams are very strong.
