Gorgeous cotton and lace tea or lawn dress from the Edwardian era. Very soft white cotton, almost translucent, with ornate floral inset lace bodice with V scarf at the neckline, and lace insets on sleeves and cuffs.
One side of the dress is completely open at the waist. This is by design. Hook and eye closure at the waist, with teeny snaps going down the opening in the front. Hook and eye closures go up the lace panel on the back.
I found several holes in the lace and separation between the fabric and lace panels in some places. Some of these issues are repairable. Some not so much. I tried to show all or most of these issues in photos. Please look closely at them to determine condition.
The dress measures: bust is 19" measured straight across from armpit to armpit, waist 26”, hips are 44”, and length is 40”. Waist to hem is 28". Sleeves are 16" measures from armpit to cuff.
No returns on antique linens, clothing or lingerie. I am listing a number of Victorian/Edwardian pieces and am happy to combine shipping.
