Teen's Era Spring Lace Gown

 

From the seller:

ANTIQUE VICTORIAN EDWARDIAN FRENCH SILK & LACE BODICE (only)FESTOONED W/ FLOWERS. This sumptuous Parisian bodice is layered with fine lace and pink and blue silk ribbon. It features a wide sash at waist with silk flowers (that need pressing & a few stitches). There are ivory silk ribbons inside marked Paris. The inside ivory silk taffeta lining is shattering and could be removed/replaced. Measurements flat: 13” S, 16” B, 13” W. This is being sold as is because it needs restoration. It is otherwise an amazingly constructed piece. All items have been purchased directly from estates and have not been altered unless otherwise mentioned.  See pictures, read description, sold as is. 256-8  Note: this auction is for bodice only. Skirt offered in another of my auctions. These pieces are not a set and feature different lace and lining materials.  Additionally: more pictures of designer labeling and of shattering available. 

ANTIQUE EDWARDIAN FRENCH EMBROIDERED IVORY NET LACE W/ PINK SILK TAFFETA LINING SKIRT (only). This extraordinary skirt measures 11” W, and 39” L. The lace has darkened from age and would be stunning if carefully laundered so that the pink lining shows better. It is in very good overall condition with a couple areas of lace that need stitching. No shattering of silk. All items have been purchased directly from estates and have not been altered unless otherwise mentioned. See pictures, read description, sold as is. 256-6  Note: this auction is for the skirt only. Bodice offered in another of my auctions. These pieces are not a set and feature different lace and lining materials.

I'm not sure why the seller thought it would be a good idea to try and sell the fragile skirt and bodice as separate pieces.   The pieces were clearly meant to be together.  Very much an early Teen's style and gorgeous in it's day.   

At least the seller provided plenty of photos if anyone would like to recreate it!
