Calico Tea Gown?









From the seller:

A very comfortable original circa 1905 lady's floral patterned calico printed cotton one piece house dress with a lined bodice, a curved and pleated yoke with a gathered front, a turned collar, a blind front button closure, a matching attached waist belt, a gored skirt with an inverted back, and a deep flounced hem. Shown with a lace neck insert that is not included. A pencil marking on the bodice lining reads $1.25 (its original cost). In very good clean sound as found condition, with light perspiration color to the bodice lining, and just a few pin dot age flaws. A very hard to come by everyday Edwardian era house dress or wrapper


From Me:

Given that this seller knows his/her stuff, I'm just going to let the description speak for itself.
