I'm struggling to place this piece, and would really appreciate some help with it.

The crochet is hand done, the cotton is a very fine quality with an almost silky hand. The top section I've made opaque with a camisole underneath. The waist is slightly low (or maybe more than slightly in another era) at 17.5". Although the way I've shown it doesn't highlight this well, it is fairly straight in cut with the crochet at the bust stretching from about 30" to 36", and the waist measuring 36" as well. It is 52" at the hip and 46" long overall. No labeling, no fasteners. Any thoughts?

Isn't that a lovely detail Carrie? I definitely have a hard time imagining covering it up! :BAGUSE:
