SOLD dress

[Rifleman1776]

This dress with black trim and highlights was made by my wife. She wore it only a couple times. She meticulously made it from a copy of an original period dress pattern. I don't know the 'period' but believe it is a copy of one worn by a First Lady. Actually, it would be 'period' correct for a span of nearly 200 years. It includes a skirt/petticoat/whatever that matches. Also a matching small handbag with pair of full length white gloves. Also included is a beautiful black and white cameo broach. Note: this dress was stored in a box for years. It is wrinkled and will need to be steamed or ironed to get wrinkles out. I am going to ship in a box so it will come to you wrinkly. Not a fatal condition. $70.00 shipped to U.S. Postal money order or personal check accepted. Edit: I don't know size but my wife was 5'6" and about 120 lbs. Another edit: Forgot to mention a matching mob cap is included.

Bump bump.

Bumping again. I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. It is a beautiful dress. It could not be made for the price I am asking. Not to mention the many hours of hard work that would be required to make it.

FWIW, a check of Jas. Townsend's site shows his dresses costing from over $300.00 to over $600.00. The dress I am offering for $70.00 is more complex and elegant than his $600.00 models. Frankly, I'm puzzled as to why someone hasn't snapped this up yet.

Another bump. If it doesn't sell soon I will withdraw.

If you have a photo of the dress on a person that may help show it off to best advantage.

Provide me with the right person and I'll be happy to. I'll even take before and after pics, dressed and not.
