close the cape at the front of a ruffled 4" multi-layered stand-up collar.

CAPE.
Au Bon Marché is the oldest (1852) and most stylish department store in
Paris. For 150 years, well-to-do Parisians have been able to spend pleasant
afternoons selecting various luxury items and elegant designer fashions,
Oriental carpets and unusual antiques. |
Triple border of
RUFFLES at bottom over green velvet
border. I would estimate this to be a size 8-10, but because it is made as
an almost full circle, it would fit a smaller or slightly larger size as
well.
Tag marked, "Au Bon Marche, Maison
A. Boucicault, Paris". There is a 2-1/2" tear on the inside right at the
neckline seam, but no other damage that I can see. |
