    Description

    This mid-Victorian (Civil War era) ensemble was purchased new for my daughter from a reputable sutler and gently worn only a few times.
    The purple floral dress has historically accurate design details including piped dropped shoulder sleeves and genuine shell buttons. It is 100% cotton, unlined, with button front entry.
    The pantaloons/drawers are 100% cotton including the lace at the hem. They adjust with a drawstring waist.
    The petticoat/slip is a bonus -- it's vintage and either cotton or a cotton blend. I'm including it for a more complete ensemble. It's not part of the original outfit.
    Photos show my daughter wearing the outfit in 2015 (I'm in green) and 2017 (I'm in cream), when she was 11 and 13 years old. But... I'm calling this outfit a size 8-10 because she is VERY petite -- both short and quite slim. Her sister, in contrast, who is 2.5 years younger than she, is quite tall and more solidly built.
    Please see the photos for all pertinent measurements of the garments. I estimate they will fit a standard 8-10 year old, give or take, unless your child is much smaller or larger than average. The loose fit means it can be worn for several years (take up the hem for now, let it down as the child grows, which is historically accurate). Compare your child's clothing or body measurements with those of the garments.
    These items are in like-new condition, clean and ready to wear. The only flaw is the tiny hole in the waistband of the bonus petticoat/slip. The actual costume items are perfect.
    I'm asking 0 for the full ensemble, which is much less than we paid for just the dress. FREE domestic shipping. Global shipping through eBay's program with no charge from me. See below for terms.
