Notes

This could describe 2022.1.72. The skirt would be wrong, but the skirt is not real. The bodice could be real and the skirt a replacement perhaps? Also the real skirt would not be a "hobble skirt", this was mostly incorrectly wrote on the donor file. it would be a narrow skirt (not hobble) perhaps with a train. It also can have the vestiges of a bustle. The original catalog also incorrectly wrote that Marcia was the mother of the donor, she was actually the Grandmother.
