Cream-coloured silk lin- ing (fragile, with flaws and old replacements in places, designed to preserve it). The bodice fas- tening at the back, with integrated reinforce- ments of blued iron. Sewn into the neck is the Empress’ white silk label for her Achilleion palace on Corfu, a crowned dolphin in dusky pink embroidery. Modified after 1900 for its sec- ondary use, the front and back were shortened somewhat, the hooks replaced and the chest area was reworked to reflect the pigeon breast fash- ion, which became popular circa 1905. The long skirt is tailored en suite, its silk lining also fragile with old replacements designed to preserve it. The waist has been extended from 52 cm to fit the Empress to 58 cm for its second- ary use, the hooks likewise replaced. A beautiful summer dress worn by the Empress, from her Achilleion palace on Corfu, which she stayed at regular intervals until her death in 1898. In need of restoration owing to its age and storage, with good quality materials. 261339 III - € 9.500 4219
