Of course, all the dresses are quite small. The largest waist measurement being 24". Unfortunately, there were no corsets in said trunk! I was certainly hoping there would at least be one in there.

All the dresses that I have listed so far have sold except the 1870 Promenade dress shown below, and honestly it's my favorite! Get it on Etsy.
