V&A - day dress

Day Dress, c. 1836 - 1840
This is not a vintage dress we could wear today, but I had to post it to showcase the vintage floral print in the dress.
And, I don't want to take away from the fact that this is a museum piece, but I can see this dress being cut down into a two-piece corset and flowing knee length skirt!
