Original Edwardian dress from the first decade of the 20th century, likely somewhere between 1905 and 1909), in the most amazing shade of medium purple trending toward plum.

  • Two silk fabrics - one with tiny cream-colored clovers creating a paisley pattern, one solid 
  • Two varieties of soft, ecru lace of (either cotton or silk, possibly a blend), one with purple centered flower medallions
  • Bodice, lined in solid cream-colored cotton, has short boning from waist to below bust, all the way around
  • Mancheron styling at upper sleeves, lace lower sleeves with no closure (they have slits for easy on/off)
  • Unlined (because you will be wearing petticoats -- not included) skirt has decorative pleating details, and is longer at back
  • Both pieces close at back with (lots and lots of) hooks&eyes

Shown with Delphine the Mannequin wearing two of my antique petticoats, which are not included.

Labels: none

Fiber/Care: silk with cotton lace and lining / were I keeping it, I would wash it carefully after the first wearing, but I recommend you have it dry-cleaned as needed, and insist it be laundered separately, in a net bag (always clean your antique and vintage garments before storing them away for any lengthy period -- here's why)

Condition: Really good, and excellent for its age (about 115). Comes to you uncleaned, with that "I'm dusty" scent (no mildew, nothing unpleasant), and with various stains on the lower part of the skirt, particularly at the edge (all are inconspicuous, and I suspect most will lift with cleaning, though I make no guarantees). Some of the lace is coming off the top of the collar. There are a few minor, scattered teensy tiny holes, plus stress holes near the topmost skirt hook&eye (as shown in photo collage, but does not show when worn, as it's concealed beneath the bodice cummerbund). Dress is sound and wearable. Do so gently and with care. 

Garment Measurements:
 BODICE - 
  shoulders: 15"/38cm
  sleeves: 24"/61cm
  bodice length: 17"/43cm
  bust: 34"/86.25cm 
  waist: 24"/61cm
 SKIRT - 
  waist: 24"/61cm (you can move the top eye to gain 1/2", but that's it)
  hips (9" below waist): 42"/106.65cm
  length: 42"/ 106.5cm at front, 45.5"/115.5cm at back

The dress is a near-perfect fit on Delphine, who measures b: 33.5", w: 23". Remember, though, she has no give at all. So, if your natural waist is 25" or even possibly 26", this may work for you, depending on how fond you are of breathing. My 26.5-27" waist would NOT fit, even corseted, and I am devastated. Also, Delphine is 6'2" tall, so the dress will likely be longer on you! It is a floor-length skirt.

Great Shirt except for the Cuff Size
Size: 20" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
My only complaint is that when I use the inner cuff buttons to make the cuffs tighter, the cuffs still aren’t small enough (larger than my other shirts of the same size). My wrists are about average, or maybe even a little larger than average. This feature is important for those of us who need a larger neck size but a shorter sleeve. They don’t make a 20 inch collar with a 32/33 sleeve (for some reason)… unless you order a custom shirt for several times as much money… so I have to buy a shirt with sleeves that are too long. That works fine as long as I can use the second cuff button to make the cuffs tighter, so that the sleeves don’t ride down onto my hand when I’m wearing my suit. It’s annoying to have to take a new shirt to a tailor to have the cuff buttons relocated.

Comfortable Dress Shirt with a Professional Look
Size: 22" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
This dress shirt has a clean, polished appearance while still being comfortable enough to wear for long periods. The stretch fabric and flex collar make a noticeable difference in comfort, especially around the neck and shoulders. The fit was true to size, and the material feels lightweight without looking thin. Overall, a solid option for work, formal events, or anyone wanting a classic white dress shirt with a little extra flexibility.

Comfort& Quality
Size: 20" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
Excellent shirt. Ordered for a Risky Business bar crawl and the fabric was so much nicer than the other two options I ordered. It is packaged so nice with pins and feels luxurious (great if you’re giving it as a gift.) It comes wrinkled from being folded in the packaging, but i steamed it and then it did not wrinkle while driving or sitting throughout the night. It’s nice and light. Only downfall is there is no pleat in the back.
