I purchased this at an estate sale near Newport RI. Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated. It also came with an antique slip with fine crochet signed E Amelia on upper edge of fabric.
Thanks

Hard to be accurate without handling it and seeing what it looks like with the proper undergarments, but I think its 1888ish. No label on the petersham? (inner belt)
