There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

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 </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">awkward</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> but attached with hook/eye closures.

I think it may have been cut down or pieces from an 1890's outfit as the sleeves show some interesting seams that would make sense if the sleeves originally were bigger than the wearer's head. <p></p><p class="MsoNormal">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.<br /><br /></p>Isabellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-27837384972865228742023-02-28T07:17:00.002-05:002023-02-28T07:17:21.374-05:00Gorgeous 1920's Peach and Black Evening Dress<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

1890's 2-PC WALKING OUTFIT SATIN HIGH NECK PUFFED SLEEVES MUSEUM DE-ACCESSIONED <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A regal 1890's satin 2 PIECE walking suit, having a high necked beaded trimmed collar and and wonderful large puffed sleeves.<br />
<br />
Recently de-accessioned from the Metropolitan museum of Art in New York City. The gown still retains it's original Museum ID catalog string tag and sewn in tags.<br />
<br />
No designer label.<br />
The bodice is accented with cream colored sheer organdy with black leaves design, found on collar, front insert and on sleeves. The bodice is lined with white silk and with 13 covered whale bone baleen stays and has front hook and loop closure.<br />
<br />
The skirt closes by hooks and loops at the back and is poor/fair condition. Its silk lining has a added wide net lace dust ruffle at hem. Inside of skirt has ties to adjust fullness bustle effect. The hem has a wire inserted around perimeter added for fullness at base. The back is accented with a large satin bow and the skirt is gathered into numerous pleats that makes for a nice fall.<br />
<br />
Condition: The outfit is in fair/good condition for its age. The bodice lining has begun to shred. No underarm staining. The organdy has begun to split.<br />
<br />
The skirt lining is in the beginnings of shredding. The outside satin of skirt has begun to split in one area as seen in last photos. Two small water stains in front from my iron spitting.<br />
<br />
MEASUREMENTS<br />
<br />
Jacket: Bust: 35", Waist: 32", Across back shoulders seam to seam 12", <br />
Shoulder to jacket hem: 46",<br />
Sleeve length: 23" with cuff turned up. Shoulder to bodice hem 18", Shoulder to hem front 58", Shoulder to hem back<br />
Skirt: Waist 31-1/2", <br />
Front length 40-1/2", <br />
Back length 44-1/2".<br />
<br />
A truly grand outfit. A great display outfit and worthy of repair. Antique clothing should not be worn<br />

<p>I think it's a couple years later than the seller believes - mostly due to the ribbons on the shoulders which were popular later. Really, the next time I see some of that fabulous summer scarf making material, I might consider it for a dress like this instead. :-)<br />

<br />The long pencil skirt with a bit of "fluff" in the bodice, were very popular from about 1910 until 1913. This extant beauty has the dog leg closure and some rather fabulous embroidery. <br /><br />

Victorian Women's French Toile Blue Print Linen Double Breasted Waistcoat Vest<br />
<br />
1860-1960 One hundred years of fashion & accessories<br />
Picture <br />
<br />
This antique Victorian era women's French toile blue print linen double breasted waistcoat vest dates from the late 19th century. It is made of an off white, blue French Toile de Jouy floral botanical print linen fabric, with a grayish blue trim edging. There is an off white cotton linen fabric backing and inside lining. This wonderful women's waistcoat vest has a late 18th century gentlemens French waistcoat style which is longer in the front with peplum skirted panels, faux pockets, a fitted waist, fold over collar and is double breasted with matching fabric covered buttons for closure on the front. The vest measures 25 inches long in the front, 15 inches long in the back, with a 36 inch bust and 24 inch waist. It is in good as-is condition, with a few faint small stains, some fraying along the blue trim edging and a small frayed hole on the bottom front panel (see close-ups). This is truly a rare and unique piece of womens wearable antique Victoriana!<br />

<b>From Me:</b><br />
UGH! Ignoring the "wearable" part for now - this isn't even Victorian. Oh yes, at first blush, it looks like it could be 1870's but look at the way the shoulders are cut. Look at how high the waistline is in the back. Also check out the close up of the fraying - the twill is handstitched on! <br />
<br />
Then there is the fabric itself...that's what the big clue was. Yes, fabric is often reused but look:<br />

Okay, so the <i>fabric</i> is from the 1820s/1830s but we see fabric reused all the time. Going back to the cut, I looked up riding habits of the time and was not disappointed.<br />

The above 1830's Riding habit hints at the waistcoat underneath but I wanted to see if there was one that showed a similar waistcoat.<br />

Although the back of the blue riding habit has the same lines as the back of the waistcoat, there aren't any easily visible waistcoats on the ladies. However, all the men do have the double breasted style very similar to this extant one.<br />
<br />
There aren't any fashion plates from the 1830's that show a riding habit with a waistcoat (the funny thing is that you see them in both the 1820's and the 1840's) but the cut, particularly at the shoulders, is so very 1830's, that the latest I'd put this is about 1842.Isabellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-20284284396278378292018-04-12T14:47:00.001-04:002018-04-12T14:47:59.106-04:00Post American Civil War Bodice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7IOMxDqBLTPhTQKQmEYn8c2hIl0jiclV3TCYDpINL4aYWjCubQZ5-yxuFKmDZPSw94QQx3jfNEE2gh7TyBtf9Crd2exPiQ5iKrAyJoBNz-NPCe1P0tvPBlF5JDg_IyHEw5vzk9WwcBw/s1600/s-l500+%252878%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7IOMxDqBLTPhTQKQmEYn8c2hIl0jiclV3TCYDpINL4aYWjCubQZ5-yxuFKmDZPSw94QQx3jfNEE2gh7TyBtf9Crd2exPiQ5iKrAyJoBNz-NPCe1P0tvPBlF5JDg_IyHEw5vzk9WwcBw/s320/s-l500+%252878%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

This Civil War bodice is made from an iridescent green silk taffeta. It has pretty cord covered buttons and is trimmed with emerald green satin piping. It's lined in brown cotton and has light boning. It has dropped shoulders with piping around the armhole seams. It has some green spots and the tulle ruffle around the wrists should be removed, very, very small, light under arm fade under one arm, but overall excellent. It measures 33 inches around the bust, waist is 23, across the back shoulder is 13 and is 15 inches long. The name Ristine is printed on the back neck. <br />

<br />
My guess is this bodice might even be a bit earlier than the fashion plate but it's post American Civil War either way. The shortness of the bodice gives that away as well as the trim lines - which just came into fashion as the Civil War was ending. <br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
I wanted to include this fashion plate because the sleeves are similar - it has a bit of the flare of the extant gown at the cuff but, really, the almost extinct puff at the armscye is still there. <br />
<br />
What I love about this is that it's probably for a slightly older lady who wanted the fashions of ten years ago but to still look fashionable in the very late 1890's as well. The dolman went out of style in the late 1880's but this one is cut to the cape like fashion of the turn of the century. <br />
<br />
Overall, it's a pretty fun outfit. <br />

To celebrate finally FINALLY being able to do something other than wake up, go to work, sit in front of a computer, come home, sit in front of the laptop, go to bed, repeat - I went to Ireland. :-) On Saint Patrick's Day weekend. Because if there is anything I need after this semester, it's a good drink and good music. Ireland, thankfully, has both!</div>

While in Dublin on Monday, I saw that one of the lesser known museums, <a href="https://www.littlemuseum.ie/">the Little Museum of Dublin</a> had a fashion display going on. It was on Irish fashion designers of the 1950's through the 1970's. Although that's later than I'd normally do on this blog, I figured it would be an excellent gateway back into actually blogging - and not writing 20 page papers on malware.</div>

The museum is all about Ireland's transformation in the 20th Century. It goes through Ireland's time as a part of the UK, the Easter Rebellion, and the Troubles with a focus on the earlier 20th century. However, the exhibit "Ireland's Fashion Radicals" goes into the emerging fashion designs from the post War era.</div>

This lovely 1950's suit is the first garment to greet you into the exhibit. I'm sorry I didn't get all the names of the designers - me being me, I was more fascinated by the cuts and the weaves of the garments. This gingham blue outfit has a lovely waistcoat, blazer, and narrow skirt for the era. </div>

Really, there were a lot of 1960's outfits in the exhibit but I loved this coat! The orange ties at the sides are pretty simple but the off center opening was VERY popular in the 1960's. I also just love the bright, sunny color.</div>

See? Ties!!! Okay, you can also see the seam lines which I was attempting to get a good photo off. There is a breast dart/cut along the princess like seams on the sides of the coat to give it a nice shape overall. Still...TIES!!!</div>

I hope everyone enjoyed the photos! I know it's a lot later than I'd normally share and also breaks the no museum rule but this was such an interesting exhibit that I thought everyone might want to see some of the garments. Plus, grad school is over - I'm breaking all the rules!!!!</div>

This isn't really "plus sized". It is a bit larger but maybe a modern size 10 or 12 in US sizes? It was meant to be very bulky. It's most likely from the early teens. They were still big into tassles but they also loved a bit of fur or feathers around the cuffs.<br />

<i>1870's PROMENADE BUSTLED 1-PIECE GOWN WITH TRAIN MUSEUM DEACCESSIONED<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an attractive summer promenade gown or tea dress of the 1870's period, that a mid to upper class woman would wear. A regal off white light weight sheer organdies 1 PIECE bustled gown with small paisley boteh motif prints.<br />
<br />
Recently de-accessioned from the Rochester historical museum in New York state. The gown still retains it's original Museum ID string catalog tags, sewn on tags, as well as written into fabric ID catalog number.<br />
<br />
I was certain that this gown would be worthy of a designer label, but it does not have a label.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The front of this gown is decorated with fancy pleated net lace trimmed stand up collar and accented with a satin bows down the front opening. The bodice has fabric covered button front closure. One top button has fabric loss. The cuffs are also are decorated with fancy net lace and satin ribbon bows. Both sides of the front opening has vertical pleating adorned with wide fancy machine lace. Pipping is found around top of shoulder arms, and down both sides of front closure.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole gown is lined with a off white organdy. No stays. The sleeves have a slight curve and tapering at the elbow. <br />
<br />
The inner skirt lining closes by a hook and loop and has many ties to adjust the bustle effect.<br />
<br />
The back gathers with fullness of material for a bustled effect and continues downward for a nice fall. The rear puff enhances the outfit nicely. The skirt is in very good condition.<br />
<br />
Condition: The gown is in very good condition. Inside lining of bodice is very good, no underarm staining or discoloration. Any blue discoloration on dress and folds are camera flash distortions of color. Skirt has no pin holes or damage anywhere. Some lace detachment on stand up collar. A brown stain on bodice, chest area. Seams have been taken out under arms, down sides to waist area, and back area. Slight musty odor. A truly grand display gown for study.<br />
<br />
MEASUREMENTS: <br />
<br />
Bust 34", <br />
<br />
Waist 25' - 26", <br />
<br />
Sleeve Length 20" + lace.<br />
<br />

<br />
Back neck line to hem 68", <br />
<br />
Across shoulder 13"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Condition: The gown is in very good condition. <br />
<br />
A truly grand display dress/gown for study or for display.<br />
<br />

So...the reasons I think it's from about 1876 - the collar style is from about then. You can see a similar one in the last fashion plate. The ribbons down the front were a huge fashion thing in the 1870s - you can see a similar style in the first fashion plate. The way the skirt fits over the hips is more natural form and the fullness at the bottom of the skirt matches with the early natural form styles.

<i>ANTIQUE DRESS 1881 SATIN 2PC BEADED RECEPTION GOWN TRAIN MUSEUM DE-ACCESSIONED WITH PAIR SHOES PARIS LABEL A. FELIX BREVETE, 15 FAUB PT., HONORE PARIS <br />
<br />
This is an attractive FRENCH Reception Dress gown of the 1880's period, that a mid to upper class woman would wear. A regal trained 2-piece in construction ivory satin gown/dress lavishly decorated with gold and crystal beadwork, gold sequins and colored faceted stone jewels paillettes. <br />
<br />
Gown comes with it's original beaded pumps. Labelled HELLSTERN & SONS, BREVETES, PARIS.<br />
<br />
Recently de-accessioned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Labeled on petersham. Reads A. FELIX, PARIS, see photo for details of label.<br />
<br />
The front of bodice is decorated lavishly and skillfully done with beadwork and having floral tambour lace inserts. Bodice has cap sleeves with double oversized ruffles.The bodice has hook and loop front closure fastening with a tight fitting bodice. Bodice comes to a point in front and back.<br />
<br />
The bodice is lined with cream silk and has 10 fabric covered whale baleen stays. No underarm discoloration.<br />
<br />
The skirt closes by hooks and loops at back and gathers with pleats in the center back with fullness for a nice fall with very long train. The skirt is lined with a tan satin. <br />
<br />
BODICE: Bust 28", Waist 24", Sleeve Length 5-1/2". Across shoulder 15", Shoulder to hem 59",<br />
<br />
Shoulder to waist with point 20", Shoulder to waist at sides 18"<br />
<br />
Front skirt length 42" <br />
<br />
Back length 47".<br />
<br />
Shoes: Length 9-1/2" <br />
<br />
Width 2-1/2" <br />
<br />
Height 4".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Condition: The gown is in fair/poor condition. Satin is shredding in skirt and in bodice. No underarm discoloration, but has large underarm tears. I do not see any bead loss, but lets say there is a few lost beads.<br />
Some light surface soiling at hemline. Bodice lining is fair with shredding, skirt lining is poor with shredding. <br />
The skirt is in poor condition with many split tears to material as shown in photos. Shoes are in fair/good condition with satin splitting, and minor bead loss.<br />
<br />
I have described this gown as fair/poor, for the collector who looks for perfection, I believe it should be rated fair condition in my opinion.<br />
<br />
A truly grand display dress/gown for display. Antique clothing should not be worn. </i><br />
<br />
<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
This gown is a good 15 years, if not a bit more, than 1881. The sleeves are too puffy and there isn't the form fitting skirt you'd expect with the natural form in the early 1880's. Rather, this is the later 1890's - probably 1896-1898. Really, it has a lot of remarkable similarity with <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/156027?sortBy=Relevance&when=A.D.+1800-1900&ft=jean+worth&offset=20&rpp=20&pos=22">this gown at the Met</a> other than this extant gown has puffier sleeves. The skirts are the same shape and the embroidery placement is pretty similar. <br />

<i>1850s ANTIQUE FASHION VICTORIAN GOLD THREAD & LACE SILK BLOUSE<br />
DESCRIPTION: Offered to you is this 1850s antique fashion Voctorian gold thread and lace silk blouse. This is a very complicated and difficult to make model. There are some defects on the fabric due to its age and the buttons cannot be open. For condition see photos. Scarce and highly collectable item. Size: length 16” ; width at shoulders 15”</i><br />
<br />
<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
Clearly, the seller had no clue what they had. I'm pretty sure it's just tarnished silver lace - not gold- however, it's still impressive. It's probably from around 1907 ish given what looks like a higher waistline and the shorter sleeves. (Although the seller says it's 16" in length, I'm not sure where s/he's measuring from as the width is looks like a lot longer than the length. Maybe they confused those too?)<br />

Okay, so the puffy sleeves give away the 1890's aspect of this dress. It's probably from about 1896 based on the styling such as the jacket and the larger than your head sleeves. <br />
<br />
This is probably the perfect dress to go caroling in or to visit family and friends this evening. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!<br />

<br />
<i>Extremely rare 18th. Century Stay Corset European probably France. it's made out of silk, cotton, wood or whale bone baleen. it's still in a very good condition considering its gage, at the edge there is a small piece broken or missing from the baleen however hardly noticeable.<br />
The beading embroidery with very tiny black beads all over makes this a very unique piece, the beading could be have added later, I am not sure about that, the piece itself has been confirmed from the 18th Century.<br />
There are only a few offered on the market. it's a treasure for the real collector.</i><br />
<br />
<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
I can easily see why the seller thought this was 18th C - parts of it might be. The fabric does look a bit older than the ribbon and the decorations on it. It does have some aspects that are similar to this <a href="http://objektkatalog.gnm.de/objekt/T6005">pair of stays</a> from the 1790s. However, it's actually a part of a Swiss folk costume.<br />

<br />
The silver lacing holes in the image were an addition in the late 1860s. The style of the Swiss Folk costume became fashion in the 1860s and made famous by <a href="http://www.europeana-newspapers.eu/assassination-sisi/">Empress Sissi</a>. <br />
<br />
The style of this one suggests it's a bit earlier than the 1860s. It has hand bound lacing holes, the style of the stays themselves are very similar to the late 18th stays, and the ribbon style is late Regency/early Romantic Era in design. My guess is about 1830s but it's hard to tell with the folk costumes.<br />

<br />
<i>Wonderful antique victiorian Edwardian ORGANDY embroidered trim flounce lace dress from 1860s-1870s.It's more like an incomplete dress made with white organdy and acorn embroidered trim, bodice, over-skirt and hem flounce. <br />
Size:Bust 38", skirt waist 26", length of skirt 28"-40".<br />
Very good and strong condition. Wearable.</i><br />
<br />
<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
I think the seller was just trying to hit all the keywords. The dress is from the early 1870s. Imagine trying to make this on a foot powered sewing machine! All those pleats!<br />

<i>Absolutely breathtaking later 1920s elaborately styled and expertly crafted dress by Julia Hoyt Modes.<br />
<br />
The most beautiful shimmering champagne silk lace featuring details including an outstanding faux pearl and rhinestone art deco brooch.<br />
<br />
Long sleeves with tiny self fabric chiffon button cuffs and cut out chiffon detailing. Draped silk bust and side hip decoration.<br />
<br />
The dress has a separate sleeveless beige silk slip with peachy gathered asymmetric hem panel and low scooped neckline. <br />
Both pieces have no closures, it is a pull-on and wiggle-in piece.<br />
This dress is truely magnificent and deserves to be seen and swooned over - still very wearable.<br />
______________________________________________________________<br />
The namesake of this 1920s line, Julia Lydig Hoyt, was an actress in the 1920s and mentioned briefly in The New Yorker several times in 1925 and 1926. Here's a quote:<br />
<br />
"MESSRS. LEFKOWITZ & PITOFSKY, "Creators of Better Coats and Suits," have recently been boasting, by circular letter to New York's publications, that they have signed a ten years' contract with Mrs. Julia Lydig Hoyt to design for them. It is with relief that I read "Mrs. Hoyt . . . will work with us such hours as do not conflict with her theatrical work." At present those hours are twenty-four to a day, but Mrs. Hoyt has said that she will take up her career again in the Fall. MRS. HOYT has very nearly arrived. She has come to the point where face creams bid for her endorsement (and she has endorsed them). Editors have asked her to write notes on social etiquette (and she has written them). The motion picture industry and the stage have known her and now she is a designer "at the highest salary ever paid to an American." Mrs. Hoyt's career is not particularly an original one; she has merely done better in it. Slim, dark beauty has an added asset. In essence, it is a capitalization of the modern American passion for aristocracy.<br />
Such a career is yearly offering more and more inducement to the eligible young ladies of our overflowing social register. It gratifies suppressed desires for public attention and, incidentally, it pays. Moreover, the exploitation of a "society name" requires much less scheming than a girl's enemies will admit."<br />

I found the following at <a href="https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/who-is-20s-designer-julia-hoyt.45697/">the Vintage Fashion Guild</a> page. Apparently, the lady that sold the dress found it at a thrift store and wanted to know more about it.<br />

So, clearly, this is from some time after 1925. I think it's more the 1927/1928 time frame based on the sleeve style. I really love the look of this dress; it's timeless. <br />

<i>This beautiful Victorian gown is 2pieces and is made from a soft wool and trimmed with cutwork with embroidered edgesm there's tear drop shaped decorations overcast in metallic gold threads. The bodice lining is very torn, someone put a make shift cotton lining inside and restitched the label, which I cannot read. It has a gold coat of arms on the left side, something on the right. The name starts with an M. The silk lining on the bodice needs to be replaced, it has pin head hole on the bodice and a few small holes on the collar, a larger one on the seam at the neckline. There's a general fade, but it's all consistent, you only see it when you look at fabric that was covered. The velvet sash around the waist is torn and worn and needs to be replaced. The bodice measures 36 1/2 inches around the bust, waist is apprx 25, across the back shoulder is 12 1/2 and is approx 20 inches long from shoulder to center front point. The skirt has a torn waistband and needs a new one, there's a tear along side the pleats coming down from the waist, a few small moth holes and a series of tears at the bottom on the side, the bottom tear about 8 inches, it's not lined, but I don't think it ever was. Waist you can make to fit, hips full and it's 41 3/4 inches long in front. <br />

Bonjourno!!!! Como stai? :-) I'm sorry I haven't posted in months but I only got internet at my gorgeous new home a few weeks ago and it's been trying to push out the Grad School papers since then. I'm taking a break from writing up my homework to post this beauty! The more I look at it, the more I like it. The cut out trim is simply delightful and I love the gold accents.<br />

Based on the skirt style and the sleeve style, I think it's early Edwardian.

<i>This is a black and white fine cotton striped skirt and blouse. The blouse has a “T” design in front with off white crochet lace and a black velvet trim. It has a high collar which has a repairable hole with some find needlework, in the front crochet and similar hole at back near hook closure. This blouse is in good condition except for above mentioned and some shredding on the inside silk lining behind the front crochet lace. The blouse as a whole is still very pretty and it matches skirt.<br />
<br />
The skirt which is also in good condition. It does have a hole in back (see last photo) which is hardly noticeable. It has double hooks at back waist, a small train with some room for a small bustle perhaps. The waist band is solid and there are six back hooks. The hem and dress as a whole appears to be machine sewn with early chain stitch. There are two black bands of velvet across the middle of the skirt and this elegantly matches the black velvet trims of the blouse. This dress is delicate because of its age but could be displayed nicely or worn at owners discretion.<br />

<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
It was far too dark to post anything yesterday. Today, I chose a more somber outfit. <br />
<br />
The blouse should be tucked in but this is an Edwardian skirt and blouse. There would not have been a bustle. <br />

<i>This pretty 1920's dress is made from a heavy silk crepe in a dark rose shade. It's beaded with clear seed and bugle beads, there's metallic gold lace godets around the skirt. It snaps on the shoulder and down one side. It has a 1/2 dime size frayed hole in the skirt, some tarnish on the lace, missing or loose beads, scattered light spots on the bodice, some snaps missing or need to be secured. Fabric is sturdy and could be worn. It measures 37 inches around the bust, waist is 35, hips 43 and is 42 inches long. </i><br />

<br />
As some of you may be following, I'm in Italy now! I'm currently typing this with a cat on my lap and a pup at my feet. :-)<br />
<br />
This is a rather interesting mix of materials. I'm all over the crepe with the bugle beads but I'm not sure about the gold lace inserts. I think it makes it look a bit off. Still, a neat part of fashion history!Isabellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-67375969590445193352017-08-27T17:45:00.002-04:002017-08-27T17:45:26.511-04:00Edwardian Print Dress<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
The waist should be tucked in...not out like a peplum. I like that this one was most likely homemade and you can tell on the inside of the bodice/blouse. And yes, no bustle - it looks ridiculous with the skirt and you can see the hem isn't even at all with the bustle in one of the pictures. <br />

The sleeve style was popular around 1905 and the pigeon front was still popular then as well. I think this dress would look lovely with a simple matching colored belt or waist to offset the skirt and blouse. <br />

<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
NoNoNoNoNo! We do not wear antique clothing unless you like destroying old things, ruining the possibilities of learning from them for future generations, and you like being pretty much in naked ruins in an hour. <br />
<br />
The rosettes threw me off on this dress - I believe they were placed there much later in the mid 20th c to cover up the spots; ie, they didn't cause the spots. I almost thought it was a remake until I saw the back detail and realized that it was just the rosettes that had been placed on the dress, not the entire dress being constructed of older pieces later on. <br />

That being said, I do think this was an early Edwardian that was remade at the end of the Edwardian era to follow the latest fashions. The sleeve puffs are just a bit too 1902/1903 versus the 1909 sleeves. Being remade would also explain some of the weirdness of the trim not exactly meeting up. The skirt had a lot of it's fullness taken out. It also might have been remade for a teenager from one of her mom's old dresses. <br />

<b>From Me:</b><br />
<br />
The bust is 34" with a 28" waist - not bad! Given the overall length, I agree that this was for a teenager and not a grown woman. I absolutely adore the colors. As for the decade, it's interesting. The dress looks like it was remade from a much older style. If you look at the inside upper collar, you can see the hand stitching pretty easily. The sleeve style, once you take away the blue lace, is dead on for the 1830's. The waist seems more 1830's too. It's the addition of the lace and a few other changes that make it more late 1890's. I can see a young girl taking her grandma's dress and remaking it for a party - think Anne of Green Gables taking one of Marilla and Matthew's Mom's dresses to remake with "puff" sleeves using left over lace from one of Diana's dresses. <br />
