Most would make you purchase the items separately). The items are ideal for Civil War impressions and are period correct. There are no zippers, elastic, or “one size fits all” drawstrings in my clothing.  Many of my outfits have won “best dressed” competitions for ladies because not only are they beautiful, they are also correctly constructed for the time period being portrayed.   Bodice: ~        Sleeve length-21.5” ~        Armscye – 20” ~        Bust- 46” @under arm ~        Neck to Waist- 17” ~        Shoulder - Shoulder-19.5” ~        Waist- 37” Skirt: ~        Waist- 36” ~        Length- 46” ~        Circumference- 180”   Description:   The fabric is medium weight black pinstripe cotton.  The bodice is period flat-lined in blue-grey cotton and closes at the front via 14 imitation jet buttons. The skirt is attached to the waistband via directional knife pleats. Since there is no decoration on the hem of the skirt, you can shorten it to whatever length you need.  The inside of the bodice is hand finished, as is the waistband of the skirt.  The bonnet is early 1860s style, black in color and trimmed with lace at the neck and satin ribbon ties. The mourning veil is 60” x 60”. The front of the veil hangs longer than the back, being 46” from the brim of the bonnet to the longest point. The veil is hand sewn to the bonnet in two places, so it can be easily removed in desired.   This garment is clean and free of defects, unless otherwise mentioned. It has never been worn (except for the sale pictures). All sales are final- no refunds- so please be sure of your sizing before bidding. I will answer any questions as soon as possible.  Bust measurement is in inches across the fullest part of the bust; it is not a bra size.     Payment is required within 3 days of close of auction. I only accept Paypal, no echecks. I ship next business day via Priority. Shipping costs are actual; I never charge a handling fee.   Thank you for looking!! Place a Bid!
