Sweetest little handmade baby dress or gown.

This is from an estate lot and a little bit is known about the provenance of this antique clothing. It seems most of the items, which included corset covers, petticoats, and 13 baby gowns (!), belonged to a family which included sisters from the Tennessee area, named Isabel, Lucinda and Cecilia.

See last photos for a reference to them, but PLEASE NOTE that card and the antique tatted medallions on it are not included in this listing.

A bit about Edwardian lace items. Typically the lace was imported, often from England, Ireland or France. Lace applied to baby and wedding clothes as well as ladies petticoats and other trousseau items could date as far back as Georgian (American Colonial) eras, as it was often handed down and reworked into the clothing.

This garment may have some very slight discoloration which should come out with Mama's Miracle or Restoration which are specially formulated to clean antique linens and can be found very cheaply on Amazon, although a very gentle dilution of OxiClean may also do the trick. I have gently hand washed it in handmade soap.

Please message me with any questions or request for further photos before purchasing.

Please note that all other items in photos are for photographic and prop purposes only, and are not included in the listing.

Thank you for looking! :-)
