Edwardian Pink Cotton Tea Dress
Fabricated in a baby pink cotton lawn
Trimmed in a machine floral motif filet lace and a narrower fleur de lis motif lace
Voluminous half length sleeves with gathered sleeve caps and lace cuffs
The collar and front and back yokes are all done in strips of lace trim meticulously stitched together with a lovely lace inset at the center front
Fastens down center back with mother of pearl buttons
Lace panel inset at waist with stays for stability
Full skirt with fullness added at each tier
Multiple rows of tucks running above the sweep
2.5” single needle hem
Maker: Unknown. No labels.
Condition: Good/Fair. I have made multiple repairs to the lace, leaving the tiny breaks un-repaired. The largest repair was at the wearer’s left shoulder, which i repaired and then covered with a period appropriate lace appliqué. The stays in the waist were hnging on by a thread so I restitched them in place. Multiple patched and repairs along the hem, with a few small tears remaining. Yellowing and a few spots remain after two soaks. The lace is fragile. See photos. Freshly hand soaked and line dried, arrives clean and ready for gentle wear.
