Comments

This is a typical Arts & Crafts style dress. I have had two other dresses of similar shape and with similar inserts, one was pink linen, the other ivory silk. Perhaps this was a pattern in a woman's magazine!

Condition

Excellent. I would say this had not been worn. There is a slight glaze to the pink linen.
