Hungarian Sweethearts

This piece was purchased in Louisville, KY, possibly from the lady's granddaughter. She was from Hungary, and moved to Louisville. Another dealer at a show noticed the piece and made the statement that this item was very typical of Hungary costumes in the late 1800's. This particular piece is a puzzlement though. Robert thinks it's either a tea gown or a maternity dress. However, the sleeve shape is a bit of a quandary–and would tend to lean to something earlier.
