hello all!

I picked up a few Victorian pieces and would love any kind of insight you have. I think they are Victorian anyway? The sheer mesh dress I think is 30's perhaps? And I am not really sure about the cream silk blouse. Thank you! :)
 
Hi,

Can you show the back of the light blue jacket? The pale blue jacket looks 1870 or 1880's to me, but I would need to see the back. The cream lace blouse or "waist" looks early Edwardian, circa 1901-1908. The black sleeveless looks to be a part of something else...cant help with that one.

Thanks for your help! :) My favorite piece is actually that weird little black sleeveless one. I would wear it under a black blazer (if it fit me!) It's very tiny. Also love the silk cream one, but can't imagine how to wear that today...

Here is a photo of the back of the blue jacket.
 
1 - 1870s ( and very pretty)
2 - 1905 - 1907ish
3 - Edwardian?
4- late 1880s - 1890s, need to see back
5 - early to mid 1930s
6- 1900 - 1905ish

Thank you both! I swear one of my motivating factors to lose my extra weight is to be able to wear some of my collection... I know, kind of shallow... but I sooo want to wear it! :) Some of it (the 25 inch waist 50's dresses!) won't ever fit me, but maybe with a bit of seamstress magic, I might wear some of them someday!
