    The Breachcloth / Dance Apron has a “net form” border at the top edge using turquoise colored bugle beads.

The wool fabric elements are well preserved – clean and crisp - soft and supple with light surface wear only. The bead decoration is beautiful and generally well preserved with no loss to the floral decoration but with some loss to the “net Form” border at the top edge (see the scans below). The ribbon form ties that would have encircled the waist of the weared are significantly shortened as can be seen in the scans below. All elements of the Breachcloth are original and there has been no repairs or restorations.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
