Found this set at the great Manhattan Vintage Show in Austin from a local dealer. As a Vollbracht collector I was just floored at this rare piece. I have never seen this image or style before. After some digging I did find this particular scene, it is a wedding in a hot air balloon! Cotton weave that is very lightweight and semi sheer. The skirt has black pipping at the waist which I love because it adds even more whimsy. It closes with a hook at the side of the waistband. The top is a pull over style, the bodice is a quilted panel with the images that have been applied. The quilted panel looks like a cropped vest layered over a tunic but it is all one piece. It closes at the front with hidden snaps, and a black ribbon neck tie. Dramatic puffy sleeves with the black balloon image on its side. This set is in excellent vintage condition, a couple of faint spots which are in the photos. These items would look great as separates too.
