Embroidered Dress
c 1900

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!


Cataloguing

for a young woman, the pink linen cut with raglan sleeves, the neckline inserted with ivory cotton embroidered with floss silk flower sprays in shaded pink and sage green, similar side inserts at waist level, pink embroiderey to neckline and cuffs, no fastenings, 36 in; 90 cm d


Condition

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