Here is a dress coat from the Victorian era fit for a special little baby - or a highly prized doll! It is at least 100 years old, and is more likely from the late 1800's. It is made of dark ecru or gold net lace with silk and twisted cording applique lace. Originally it was lined with the most beautiful, shimmery pale gold lining, that has pretty much completely deteriorated at this point. I cut some of the threads that were hanging scraggily in the back, but have left as much of the material as possible, so the new owner can admire its beauty. The front facing is a pale pink bias-cut silk velvet which has some splitting, as well. It features a sailor type collar with deep lapels and fastens with 6 loops and buttons which may be Mother of Pearl. It was trimmed at the ends of the sleeves with milky white round beads, many of which are missing. I have gathered two or three of them and will include them. Photos #1, 5, 7 and 12 come closest to the actual color. This coat could be re-lined and gently cleaned and would probably last another 25 or 50 years! I have not attempted to clean it, it is in the condition 'as found'. I am guessing at the size as approximately 3 - 12 months because of the small arms, but please go by the measurements below. Measurements: Chest, under the arms with button: 10" Across shoulders in back: 7" Sleeve
