Late 1910s Edwardian tea dress made from a semi-sheer white cotton lawn with a Swiss dot pattern. Absolutely gorgeous, with floral embroidery throughout. A blousy bodice beautifully adorned with a lace insert at the front and matching eye-hook placket at the upper back. Wide lace sleeves fall past the elbow, with a nipped waist and flowing skirt. Crocheted buttons close the dress all the way up the spine. A stunning piece of history, dripping with detail!

A Note on Buying Vintage

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:

• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina

These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
