DATING TO THE EDWARDIAN ERA
FASHIONED OF A WHITE SILK WITH A WONDERFUL SHEEN RUNNING THROUGHOUT.
LARGE SCALE MACHINE FLORAL LACE TRIMS THE TOP BOTH IN THE FRONT AS WELL AS ON THE FRONT CUFFS. A FLORAL PATTERN WHITE MACHINE LACE YOKE AND HIGH BONED COLLAR WITH THE TOP COLLAR FINISHED IN SILK AND WHITE BEADING.
BEADING CROSSES OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE LACE YOKE WITH A CLUSTER OF GRADUATING PEARL BEADS. THE LACE PANELS OF THE FRONT ARE TRIMMED IN DANGLING SILK ROSEBUDS WITH MATCHING DANGLES SEEN AT THE SHOULDERS AS WELL AS ON THE CUFFS.
LACE MATCHING THE HIGH COLLAR COMPOSES THE INNER SLEEVES THAT FALL LONGER WITH THE SILK SLEEVE HAVING A SILK FLOSS FEATHER STITCH EDGE. GATHERED BELTING AROUND THE WAIST WITH A MATCHING LACE APPLIQUE WITH ROSEBUD DANGLES.
THE SILK FEATHER STITCHING TRAVELS DOWN THE EDGE OF THE LEFT SIDE SKIRT AS WELL AS AROUND THE BOTTOM TOP LAYER WITH AN INSERT OF LACE AT THE CORNER FOLD HAVING MATCHING DANGLES.
THE FEATHER STITCH DETAILING TRAVELS UP THE REAR SKIRT WITH THE REAR BELTING HAVING A FALLING TAIL OF BEADING OFF TO THE SIDE TRIMMED IN THE BUDS WITH SMALL ROSETTE FLORALS AT THE CLOSURE.
NO LABELS FOUND. THE INTERIOR BUST HAS SILK RUFFLES MEANT TO INCREASE THE SIZING.
CONDITION: THE EXTERIOR SKIRTING HAS SEVERAL SMALL PINHEAD BROWN POINT STAINS THAT ARE HARD TO NOTE. THE FLAWS ARE IN THE INTERIOR. THE INTERIOR SILK TAFFETA LINING IS HEAVILY SHATTERED AND I PERSONALLY WOULD REMOVE. ONCE REMOVED, THE INNER SKIRTING WOULD NEED SEVERAL TACK STITCHES TO HOLD IT IN PLACE, NONE THE WISER.
