From the seller:
Here is an Antique Edwardian Striped Brocade Floral Silk 2 PC Dress Velvet Trim Yellow BlacK Stripes. Features metal hook/eye closures down front of blouse with unattached collar ( hook/eye closure on collar). Fully lined with cotton or linen and corset type boning. Layered Skirt hangs a little longer in back, has metal hook/eye closure and metal snaps and is fully lined. Fragile condition with holes, spots and tears all of which I tried to note in photos. I would say this piece could be displayed or repurposed. The front of the bodice has been unstitched as if to make bigger so it is a bit awkward but attached with hook/eye closures. I have made no attempt to clean or repair this piece. Estate Find. Please see pictures and e-mail with any questions. Thanks for looking.

From Me:
The outfit was clearly meant for an s-bend corset which would keep it in that era as well. My guess is about 1900-1902. Very much end of the Victorian, beginning of the Edwardian era.
Hi there! I can't even tell you how happy I am that you're blogging again!
ReplyDeleteI reference your website all the time for research, and direct others to this blog pretty often.
So happy you're back! Use this blog all the time to research before starting a new historical dress. Thank you for the hard work
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower yet an old follower lol I followed you back in the early 2000's so happy to find you again!
ReplyDeleteA white or cream-colored shirt with a high collar, typically detachable, would be suitable. The collar could be stiff and paired with a cravat or bowtie. I am seeing your Edwardian Outfit, I thought I made this but at this time I'm stuck on my project. I am searching for marketing dissertation topics in the UK. Some buddy help me?
ReplyDeleteEfectivamente tienes toda la razón, este parece un traje de la época victoriana, de los que se usaban en Inglaterra sobre el año mil ochocientos noventa, al mismo le faltaría el sombrero, pues este tipo de vestidos siempre llevaban un sombrero a juego.
ReplyDeleteHello! Just a little correction; they are called "straight front corset", not "s-bent corsets". The thing is, a straight front corset helped to achieve an s-bent silhouette, but the corsets were very straight at the front (i've got some bibliography id be glad to share on that)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the timeless elegance of a black and white striped late Victorian/early Edwardian outfit. It's a classic choice that exudes sophistication and style. The attention to detail in the fashion of that era is truly remarkable. A perfect blend of vintage charm and fashion-forward flair! ⚫⚪
