1850s Cotton Batiste Slip Dress w/Puff Sleeves, Pink Silk Ribbon & Brush Train

Here we have a beautiful, fully lined cotton batiste chemise-slip dress. Its flowing silhouette and delicate scalloped lace edging graces the square neckline and puff sleeves and is adorned in a pink silk ribbon. The waist also features a romantic pink silk-satin ribbon, woven through a needlepoint ladder lace trim, where a subtle gathered waistline enhances its natural flow. The dress features a full skirt that extends into a graceful brush train. This rare slip dress has a discrete eye-hook closure at the armpit/sleeve area and is a beautiful example of mid 19th century fashion.
