Embroidered Edwardian Tea Dress







From the seller:

This beautiful Edwardian tea drews is made from a gray net and is embroidered with blue and white flowers. It has a lining layer of plain tulle and you will need a slip for it. It hooks down the back, there's a panel that comes across the center back and snaps. The sleeves criss cross at the top and there's a flouce around the edge. It has a high waisted style, you will need a cummerbund or sash for it. The top layer of the skirt has a Van Dyke hemline trimmed with narrow ruffles. It has a few tiny holes under one arm, seam is opened about 1 inch and some hooks or eyes need to be secured. There are some scaTtered pin holes around the waist and a small mend where it looks like the sash was attached and the blue binding around the neck is frayed in one place. It measures 32 inches around the bust, waist/midriff is 27, hips are 35 (this is the lining the dress is wider), across the back shoulder is 13 1/2 inches and it's 50 1/2 inches at the longest point. Very good vintage condition.

From Me:

To me, it's not the dress itself that is spectacular, it's all about the fabric. Those embroidered flowers on the net background look lovely.
