Authentic early 20th century Edwardian lace dress featuring original handmade silk floral embellishments. This piece dates to approximately 1908–1916 and reflects classic Edwardian lingerie-dress construction.
The dress is made from sheer lace and silk and was designed to be worn over a slip. It features hand-applied silk and gold metallic flowers at the neckline and hem, and a lower edge of silk panels.
The skirt is pink-peach color.

Features
-------------------------
-The panels are weighted, allowing the fabric to hang and move properly.
- Short lace sleeves and a soft empire waist are typical of the period.
- The Brussels Princess Lace shows fine floral details, hand applied throughout. Construction appears entirely hand-finished, consistent with garments of this era.
- Creamy silk underskirt (not shown).
- Soft white Brussels lace.
- The color of the crepe silk (bodice, sleeves and front panels) in 1900s was called "oyster", an Edwardian era fashionable shade.
The flower embellishments (of silk and metallic thread) show some aging, but still lovely, please enlarge the photos.
