5 Garden Party Tea Dresses 1860-1890 - We can not date these lovely outfits to a smaller time frame as there are possible later embellishments that were added for a costume effect. They are sincerely from that time frame but with newer lace, etc added here and there. they are all in fair to good condition, most with the silk fabric showing its age. Some repairs, small or large, are needed to all. Noteworthy is the unusual color chartreuse dress, worn with layers and layers of lace undergarments. There is a Martha Washington style blue and white garden dress. As well as a 2 piece, off the shoulder, off white, full skirted outfit. 5 outfits in total.
