Antique 1910s Edwardian whitework cotton lawn dress or tea gown - broderie anglaise trumpet sleeves so not very obviousElegant Edwardian lawn dress. Evidence of slight pigeon fronted bodice, straight front silhouette to skirt and gathered rear I'm guessing around 1913 14? Fastens with original brass hooks and eyes to rear which are secure but a little fiddly to open you can see why a maid was required! Pretty broderie anglaise, with high drawnwork collar neckline. This has a few small historic repairs, so please study photos. Theyre not awful but are there. Puffed
