Description
A fine example of 1850s crinolines, this boat necked, grey, teal and pink plaid four-piece ensemble includes set of detachable long sleeves. The dress may be worn with or without the long sleeves. Teal green fringed neck trimming adds detail to the silk taffeta dress.
The weight of the heavily lined full skirt is carried by an attached cotton bodice (under the plaid back-laced bodice) designed to fit over the shoulders.
