Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Ultra Rare 1870s Flour Sack Tulip Applique

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Ultra Rare 1870s Flour Sack Tulip Applique

These pants are made from an antique Tulip Applique Quilt. There is a very light batting between the two layers, but I would say this a light weight quilt. Judging by the fabric, style, and that it is all hand stitched and it is heavily embroidered, I would say this is from the 1870s-1890s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :).

Color Scheme: Ivory, Green, Red

Approx Age: This quilt was probably made in the 1870s-1890s, handmade recently

Fabric: no tags, but I would say its all cotton, the cotton is very soft, I would say its flour sacks

Condition: Very Good wearable condition, the elastic is new and super stretchy, no holes  noted (I believe I have repaired them all), please note, this quilt is oldddddd, it has lots of wear on the tulip appliques that I have left as it doesn't effect the structure or sturdiness of the pant, the ivory flour sack areas also have some wear as well, I have repaired all the weak points, but there is still some areas for the vibe of this pant. While this has been hand- washed, there still may be a few areas of light discolorations that add to the loveliness of the piece
