About MeMade in Edinburgh in 1883 this impressive teagown combines sea green silk and fine orange paisley wool. The stand-up neckline is trimmed with lace and the ruched full length green silk sleeves have a three tiered cap shoulder decoration of paisley trimmed with ruched green silk. The walk out pleat at the back of the dress is in the fashion of the previous century.
