ITs amazing to me how the first one survived with its accessories in tact. someone must have been the "saver" in that family.
I love the 1848 dress too but unfortunately it seems that it has been used as a "dress up costume" over the years so it needs some loving! Actually, the engageants aren't from the same estate! The shoes are came from the same estate as the dress but I don't know if the original owner of the dress wore these shoes or not but since they came from the same place, I thought I'd keep them together. I decided to add the engageants with the dress as they just seemed to "go" with the dress and are from the same period anyways. Lei
