Talk about your Sunday Go To Meetin' clothes! These dainty duds were unearthed many years ago by a local up in Camden, Maine and are fresh to the main market. These fetching ladies' church clothes are undoubtedly museum quality. If you are a clothing collector this is the ultimate early material. All homemade the pieces were bought at the general store but these were kept because they are exceptional. This jacket and cape are incredibly intricate and some high end townswoman (perhaps the Mayors wife) wore and cherished these. We have had these in our private collection for years, just did not have the heart to sell them. The Chanel of the period.
