Materials: Dark blue knit wool jersey,
white braid trim, mother of pearl buttons, elastic, steel hooks.
Condition: Excellent. Two tiny holes in
top's front pleats, and elastic in bloomers has lost its stretch.
Measurements: Top: Sh-Sh, 16"; B,
40"; Slv L, 26"; W, 23". Bloomers: W, 23", L, 31".
Comments: The wool
jersey used in this lady's cycling outfit is very soft and supple. A bicycle
dress is described in an 1894 issue of Harper's Bazaar as having, "Turkish
trousers, long and ample....made of such fullness that when standing upright the
division is obliterated. Very wide at the bottom, they droop deeply upon gaiters
of cloth to match."
