Titanic Era Floral Dress












From the seller:

Breathtaking Victorian Gown in Patterned Silk and Lace
This antique gown is a perfect example of ladies' high fashion during the Victorian period.
The style of the dress appears to be later Victorian when the bustle had become much smaller.
Crafted from a pink and white vertical striped glossy silk, the fabric has a delicate floral pattern in pink, blue, and green running throughout.
The bodice has a round neck line in tulle, which gives way to a lace and silk covered button insert.
The waist line, detailed with a double belt with a blue highlight, is typically high.
The a-line skirt is detailed with an offset pleat running vertically down the front.
The short sleeves are detailed with a stitched cuff bordered in blue and gold piping and an extension of tulle and lace.
The back of the dress contains the closure which is a series of hooks and eyes.
The belt continues around the waist with a drop sash on the left side detailed with a blue fabric ball.
The skirt is gathered at the bottom center and detailed with a gold fabric medallion.
The lining is cotton and the interior waist boned.
The dress measures: bust 32", waist 26", shoulder to shoulder 15 1/2", center back collar to waist 14", center back waist to hem 42", and top of shoulder to cuff hem 16".

The above fashion plate is from 1912. The dress is most likely from about that time as well.
