Beautiful Antique Girls Embroidered Cotton Muslin Day Dress.
This is a delightful day dress with long sleeves, it has been made using a very fine embroidered cotton muslin fabric. The dress has a pintucked bodice that is fastened with mother of pearl buttons and hand stitched button holes, at the waist the skirt is gathered onto cotton ties. The dress has a round neck that is trimmed with lace. The full sleeves are also edged with lace and have a subtle embroidered detail. The lace edging to the neck and one of the sleeves have a hole, both could be repaired. The dress has a gathered skirt with lots of beautiful floral embroidery. Due to the delicate nature of the fabric, the skirt does have some holes, please study the photos. This dress would have been worn over cotton petticoats.
The
girls dress has some light staining, I have not attempted to clean the gown. This is an heirloom piece with considerable age, so there are areas of the
fabric that maybe vulnerable.
The dress is being offered in good used antique condition. It measures approx. 55cm in
length.
A delightful collectable piece.
Pease see
my pictures for the details of the condition.
