The garment was cut for a 40 inch bust. Victoria sure had a nice figure in her youth. :)

I would not be surprised if the final price went way over 9,000 pounds. There seems to be a hot market for Victoria memorabilia.

I think you’re right. 9000 pounds sounds ridiculously low.
To: C19fan
There seems to be a hot market for Victoria memorabilia. In a limited way you are right. In general the market Victorian and all antiques is dead. Millenials do not want that stuff.
The exception is the Steam Punk influence and that shows up in a demand for Victorian clothing.
Steam Punk is a modern recall of the invention, exploration, discovery and optimism of the 19th century.
I like it.

Almost as round as she was tall. She was only 4’8” tall.

The garment have been “discovered” by the family? Must not clean out their closets very often.

Wouldn’t these items actually belong to the royal family?

I knew....just pointing out structural similarity.

Her size is ok, a lot of fashion models these days seem to want to look like anorexic boys. Give me a girl with some meat on her bones (and I agree with Gus in ‘Lonesome Dove’ about rotund women).
To: Stevenc131
I don’t get the anorexic thing either.
