Circa 1870s/ 1880s lawn cotton bustle overdress
This unique lawn cotton bustle dress, adorned with purple velvet trim and bows and featuring a tie-up bustle structure inside, reflects the fashion trends of its era. The option to let the bustle structure hang creates a versatile silhouette.
Condition-wise, it bears a small darn, a cluster of pinholes on one sleeve, and a minor rust mark on the pocket. Despite these, the dress presents itself remarkably well and is very wearable (with care). The detailed examination of all pictures is essential, as they contribute to the comprehensive description.
