and a inner bodice neck frill. These were probably made by a leisured lady for her own use. I expect the frill was gently gathered and stitched to the inner bodice. I have only seen one of these before in linen.
The pair of ruffles in natural cotton with ornate lace effect lower edges.
Approx 29 x 4 in; 70 x 10 cm lower edge. The ruffles are quite stretchy.
The frill 66 x 3 in; 1.9 x 8 cm
Both the ruffles and the frill are quite stretchy.
Extraordinarily and suprisingly in very good condition. I can see nothing wrong with the sleeve ruffles. The frill has one hole near the lower edge, but really that is all.
Price: £400 | $500 | €480
