1810's Dress

Another shot of the sleeve. This one shows the lace a bit more clearly

The back of the dress on the dress form. The dress was clearly made for a young girl based on the size of the dress, and the length of the dress.

The sleeves. I think the lace might have been added much later.

The eyes side of the opening of the bodice.

The hem is lined in linen. I was trying to get a photo of how sheer the cotton was and get a look of the fabric as well.

This is inside the bodice. There are four bones inserted into the front of the bodice, two on either side. The lining is made of linen.

I wanted to try and emphasis the growth pleat in this picture.
