antique VICTORIAN WOMANS SKIRT only lace EVALYN BIETSCH girls long cotton #2
Antique Victorian woman's or girl's long skirt. Cotton off white fabric and beautiful eyelet lace skirt has ties at back to tie around waist. Item seems to be handmade.
Inside of waist band written in ink is the name Evalyn Bietsch in 2 places on band.
Measures approx. 25" around waistband, and has an opening slit at the back, so it could be tied a little larger. Length is approx. 41" long.
I see some small very light age spots in a couple of places and I see one tear at back of skirt about 1/3" long . Also in front there is some splitting or possible insect tiny holes in one area. I took photo of this area. It is about 2" total area.Not very noticeable because the skirt is very full and lays in layers over itself. Could be stitched possibly. Looks like a fragile area in fabric.
This is for skirt only, blouse in photo is separate listing.
Very pretty Victorian era skirt!
Here is information I found on the Bietsch Family Geneology from search for ancestors.com
History of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 1887George Bietsch BiographyGeorge Bietsch, manufacturer of cigars and dealer in cigars, tobaccos, etc., Chambersburg, was born at Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, August 30, 1843, the youngest child of Frederick and Elizabeth (Eckstein) Bietsch. He received a plain education in the schools of his native town. In 1861 he, in company with his parents, came to America and direct to Chambersburg. In the same year George commenced an apprenticeship with George Bruner at the trade of cigar making, and was next in the employ, as clerk and journeyman, of Moses Greenawald, and continued with these gentlemen, respectively, until 1863. In that year he taught a German public school at Chambersburg one session. Following the destruction of Chambersburg, he filled a similar position at Pittsburgh for some four years. In the fall of 1868 he returned to Chambersburg, and commenced the manufacture of cigars and the tobacco trade, in his present location at No. 79 South Main Street, where he is doing a fair business, usually employing from six to eight hands. In 1865 Mr. Bietsch married Elizabeth Pressler, and to them have been born eleven children, nine of whom are living, five daughters -Eva, Katie, Lottie, Gertie and Alice -and four sons -Emil, George, Charles and Thomas. Mr. Bietsch is organist of the Episcopal Church, a position he has held for the past ten years. His family attend the same church. Mr. Bietsch has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since 1870, and master of George Washington Lodge, No. 143, for the past two years. |
