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.

holy WOOOW! that fabric😍 you know how many dress makers and restorers would drool over this!? just WOW
splendid video Elewys of Finchingefeld. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the high quality work.
What a find. That ruching!! Gorgeous fabric. I hope she goes to a good home.
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 TH-cam short
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 That would be grand!
Ooh and likely those beautiful details you carefully showed are all handwork!
Nicole Rudolph and Abby Cox should see this!
She's beautiful!
Stunning!!!
It would take a brave person to take it on,so much work to do,the fringing looks a bit odd.
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
I hope that dress finds her way to Abby Cox or Bernadette Banner!
Or Lady Rebecca !
Now how can material make you cry well it has me she's beautiful many thanks

Wow 😍
Magnificent dress . Thanks for showing us Elewys.
Such a stately lady!
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.
Beautiful
😃love it
Oh, isn't she a beauty!
Oh neat!!
