Description: This is an original antique Edwardian 1900s to early 1910s white cotton floral embroidered eyelet and lace inset long sleeve dress. Dresses in this style were worn in the warm summer months and were often referred to as lawn, tea or lingerie dresses as they were lightweight, more comfortable and less formal than typical day dresses. The dress features an eyelet floral with lace insets for the bodice, through the sleeves and halfway down the skirt. The rest of the skirt is made from a soft lightweight cotton and features wide pleats with an eyelet band and lace insets around the bottom. The skirt closes with a row of snaps and hooks and eyes on one side. The top front is a bit looser with a blousier effect and crosses over and closes along the side of the waist and up the same side as the skirt more snaps and hooks and across part of the shoulder. The dress is a single layer of fabric and is unlined. It is see through so it may need to be worn with a slip underneath it.The dress has been thoroughly washed by soaking it overnight in a specialized laundry detergent called "Restoration" for antique textiles to restore the fabric to it's original color by lifting and removing spots, stains, yellowing and odors. It is in excellent condition with no spots, holes or tears that I could find. The cotton fabric is lightweight but feels strong enough to be worn with care.
