Augusta Auctions

[mimicofmodes]

This piece was won at Augusta Auction by someone who is donating it to the museum where I work! Very very excited for that, and also thank you for putting this on my dash today as I forgot that I'm going to her apartment today to see it.

@mimicofmodes thank you so much for sharing! Would you, pretty please, be able to share more photos once you receive the garment? Very curious about how that centre front closure works...

Also, really REALLY appreciate donors like this who help save beautiful pieces of history! 🤩❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[mimicofmodes]

Yeah, absolutely! One of the awesome things about this new job is that the collections database is online and I can publish new records to the web portal when I'm done cataloguing; another awesome thing is that there is no rule against employees sharing pics on their social media accounts.

I didn't think to take photos when I saw it today, but I can tell you that it's a basic drawstring front (one of these is patterned near the beginning of Regency Women's Dress - a wide front piece with a slit down the center to about the middle of the stomach, with a drawstring in the neckline hem and in a tuck just under the bust) with a slight difference: one side of the slit is made as usual with a very narrow hem and the other side with a 1/2"-3/4" hem, and there's a tiny self-fabric button on the first side to meet a small thread loop on the second, which holds the slit closed below the lower drawstring. That's something I've never come across before in this style.

[ladydominion]

Is it just me or does it seem the entire front of the dress is open to the skirt hem?? 🤔🤔

I can't quite picture the button closure but eagerly await more photos or link to the garment on the museum website!

[mimicofmodes]

That's because the hem side of the opening continues down the front as a tuck! It's a bit of an illusion.

[ladydominion]

GENIUS!!! 🤩🤩

Thank you!!
