{"product_id":"40s-does-vi-costume-in-burgundy-cotton-velvet-bow","title":"40s Does Victorian Costume Burgundy Cotton Velvet Bow","description":"This is a wonderful 40s Victorian-styled costume made of rich burgundy cotton. The costume consists of 2 pieces; a bodice and a skirt. The bodice has a high neck that fastens with hooks and eyes with a lovely cream chiffon ruffle trim. I believe that the ruffle is actually antique and was repurposed to trim the costume. The bodice is fitted and buttons up the front with white faux shell buttons. It has ¾-length sleeves that have a slight puff at the sleeve and the cuffs are trimmed in black velvet and more of the chiffon trim. The hem of the bodice in the back has a fun little bustle\/peplum that is densely pleated and decorated with a large velvet bow. The bow also looks to be antique made of plush silk velvet with a satin back.\u003cbr\u003eThe skirt is super simple being floor-length and A-lined with a side zipper and buttons to fasten. The skirt has dense gathers in the back and appears like it is meant to be worn with a bustle. The costume overall does have the look of the first bustle-era dresses with 40s flare. It is meant to be worn with a bustle but does not have one attached to it. The bustle used for the pictures is not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition:\u003cbr\u003eThe set is in great condition overall with one flaw found. There is some damage to the chiffon trim on the back of the right cuff. The section is about a 1\/2 inch and is not too noticeable overall. The only other thing to note is that this particular cotton fabric really likes to pick up everything, it is a lint magnet. It has been professionally hand laundered and is ready to wear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements\u003cbr\u003eTop:\u003cbr\u003eNeck: 13\"\u003cbr\u003eShoulders: 14\"\u003cbr\u003eBust: up to 38\"\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 26\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 19\"\u003cbr\u003eSleeves: 18\"\u003cbr\u003eCuffs: 10\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkirt\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 26\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: up to 43\"\u003cbr\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003eFront: 40\"\u003cbr\u003eBack: 45\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"the-romantiquary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42327760863385,"sku":"6QYTCN","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/product-image__nGqUhf-compressed.png?v=1656974767","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/40s-does-vi-costume-in-burgundy-cotton-velvet-bow","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
