A breathtaking Edwardian white lawn dress with an ethereal, almost weightless presence. This piece features a high embroidered collar, delicate vertical pintucks, intricate embroidered insertion, and a long, slender silhouette that feels unmistakably early 20th century.
The construction and detailing are so fine and fragile that it reads more as a collector’s or display piece than a garment for regular wear. It has that haunting, whisper-thin beauty that only true antique cotton lawn can carry.
Details:
• Edwardian era
• White cotton lawn
• High embroidered collar
• Pintuck detailing throughout bodice
• Embroidered and lace insertion panels
• Long sleeves
• Extremely delicate hand and feel
• Condition: one tear at the top of the left shoulder; otherwise presents beautifully, but overall very fragile due to the whisper-thin nature of the fabric
• Best suited for display, collecting, archival appreciation, or editorial styling with extreme care
Bust: 34
Waist: 17
A beautiful and increasingly rare example of Edwardian delicacy, more apparition than dress.
A loving thank you to Kim of Mountain View Mercantile for so kindly letting me photograph this piece in her beautiful store. Her warmth, generosity, and support mean so much to me.
