Late Teens Early 20's overdress








From the seller:

VINTAGE EDWARDIAN-1920'S PEASANT STYLE LIGHT PEACH COTTON AND LACE DRESS
RIBBONS TIES ON SIDES
VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME RUST STREAKS ON THE BACK
SIZE 10-12+
40 INCH BUST
34 INCH WAIST
48 INCH HIPS
43 INCH LENGTH
From Me:

This is a wonderful example of what was worn during WWI and at the beginning of the 1920's. The small bit of lace on the skirt shown in one picture was probably a very creative way to cover up a tear. Of course, this would have been worn over another dress.
