<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 3524721, member: 13464"]Hi everyone! Goodness... that is SPECTACULAR! Love it! The fabric is so very pretty and the workmanship! Wow! I have to agree with all of you... yes, late 1700's... and it makes sense to me that it may have had a row of hook and eye closures. Is there any evidence that it was worn "as it is"? I don't see any perspiration stains or wear from the photos. The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps it was used wearing a belt; but age wise that doesn't cut it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What a lovely lovely piece!</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p>Cheerio, Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
