Description

An incredible and rare find in black—an authentic Edwardian/Victorian era set consisting of a structured corset-style bodice and a matching full-length skirt. While white sets are more common, black examples from this period are highly sought after by collectors of mourning attire and archival fashion.

The set features exquisite hand-made lace detailing, delicate pleated textures, and the signature high-collar, structured silhouette of the turn of the century. The bodice is beautifully tailored with traditional fastenings, representing the peak of 1900s craftsmanship.

Condition: Good antique condition for a garment exceeding 100 years of age.

• Bodice: Generally well-preserved with minor faint surface dust/wear on the interior.

• Skirt: Contains some visible holes/tears consistent with the age and delicate nature of antique fabric.

• Overall: This is an archival piece. While it maintains its stunning visual appeal, it is best suited for display, study, or extremely careful historical photography. Please review all photos for a detailed view of the textile condition.
