Late Edwardian Era Dress












From the seller:

FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE EDWARDIAN ERA




THIS ALONG WITH THE OTHER EDWARDIAN DRESSES ACQUIRED FROM A PRIVATE ESTATE




FASHIONED OF A WONDERFUL COLORED LINEN WITH LACE INSERTS RUNNING THROUGHOUT




WONDERFUL CUTWORK DETAIL ABOVE THE FRONT BUST




FINELY EMBROIDERED BY HAND WITH FLORAL DETAILS




CUT WITH A FULLNESS AT EACH SIDE WITH SKIRTING OPENING INTO A FULL BELL SHAPE




CLOSES IN THE REAR WITH FRENCH KNOT BUTTONS




ESTATE FRESH AND I HAVE NOT CLEANED THIS PIECE, THERE IS SOME BROWN AGE COLOR AS SEEN WITH SOME STAINING SEEN UNDER THE ARM.




HARD ENOUGH TO FIND THESE IN WHITE, RARE TO FIND THESE IN EASTER EGG COLORS




MEASUREMENTS IN INCHES:




BUST: 36

WAIST: 26

LENGTH: 56



















From Me:

Based on the neckline and sleeve length, I'm thinking 1909.
