Romantic Tea Gown, ca. 1899

Romantic white cotton lawn tea gown or afternoon dress with Valenciennes Lace from the end of the 19th century. High neck and bands in a pattern of loops and bows. Nice decorated with a band of polychrome embroidered roses at lower bodice, sleeves and skirt. Sleeves and skirt have scalloped inserts of tucked pink cotton beneath embroidered bows. The lower skirt is ruffled in three bands. The dress is unlined; the petticoat, which was used for photography is not part of the offer. Very good condition, only a small spot on sleeve, scattered small holes and seam separations in lace, few spots near hem, small tear in hem ruffle. You'll barely notice. The decoration is not included.
