Antique Victorian woman's or girl's long skirt. Cotton off white fabric and beautiful floral 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 3 places on band.
Measures approx. 23" around waistband, and has an opening slit at the back, so it could be tied a little larger. Length is approx. 38" long.
I see some small age spots in a couple of places and I only see one tear at very bottom trim of lace, there is a 3" tear along very bottom of lace at bottom hem, may be stitched together. Not very noticeable because the skirt is very full and lays in layers over itself.
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, 1887
George Bietsch Biography
George 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.
