oh, if these old pieces could talk! This mid to late 1800s top is a pretty one indeed! she is a very wounded bird, however, making her a great collection piece or would be perfect for someone who makes clothing. It's got damage throughout. The silk lining mainly. This elegant black lace top features intricate detailing and a stylish lace design. The sleeves are beaded, and the back has hook and eye clasps. I bought this in an antique boutique in New York City about 12 years ago. I feel like I'm ready to part with it. Definitely not for wear although you might be able to carefully get away with wearing it out who am I to say you can't. fits an xs/ s frame or modern size 0 to 2.
