This has nothing to do with weaving. It's a really lovely silk Victorian dress I saw at an estate sale in Merton, Wisconsin, Sept 8, 2021. I took a bunch of video of it to document some of the details.

Those buttons look like thin abalone shell saved in my great grandma’s button box from dresses of this same vintage. Beautiful! Thank you for jogging my memories of growing up in the sewing rooms of my Nana and her mother.

I really regret not buying it and bringing it home...I would have sold it cheap to a local collector and kept the dressmaker...except it would have required a second suitcase and paying for extra luggage to come home.

I hope that dress finds her way to Abby Cox or Bernadette Banner!

Perkin's mauve is one of my favourite colours. Thanks for the random video... I would love to see the dolls too, if you have any footage.

I have a 30 second clip from the room with most of the dolls in it. Maybe I can post as a KZfaq short

That was cool. A lot of work to restore it.

I don't think restoring it would be possible. It is extremely valuable as a way to learn clothing construction

Was the dress included for the price of the dress form?

I don't know. I knew there was no way to get either of them home safely and no budget for such a purchase.
