Beautiful full skirted dress in a soft woven wool in light blue with black pin stripes. Very elegant silhoutte with a nipped in waistline and lovely full skirt, which the wool fabric holds the shape of beautifully. Bodice is fitted and fastens to the front with ornate black buttons. High neck with big shawl collar. Dolman half sleeve. Natural waist is cinched in with darts and the waistband is gently dropped and sits on the upper hip. Skirt is very full, sewn in neat box pleats. Dress is unlined, so you may want to wear over a slip, but nice soft wool. Label is Alan Gay, made in Ireland.

 

Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.

CONDITION 

Satisfactory condition.

-A loose woven wool fabric which has had some minor thread breakages which have been pretty discreetly darned with colour matched yarn in places. A couple of these are slightly more noticeable, but they are at the back at the lower part of the hem, Some small ones one the bodice, a couple on the waistband and upper pleats, but these are not that easy to see, other than if you look internally or hold the fabric up to the light. Please see photos. I've tried to capture anything more noticeable. 

-Also some faint fade streaks in the pleating.

-Little bit of rubbing wear / felting to the armpits, but this is not really visible when worn.

Priced to reflect. Still really lovely and very wearable.
