Delightful Wedding Gown, ca. 1910

This beautiful Edwardian wedding or summer dress reflective the Edwardian elegance. Oyster coloured satin overlaid with white soft draping voile. The yoke and high neck are of net embroidered with flowers. The long fitted sleeves tucked and edged with lace at the wrist and further adorned with 5 satin covered buttons from the wrist to elbow. The bodice and shoulders again overlaid with voile and threaded through satin covered buckles to form soft tabs beneath the bustline. Bands of soft 'coral pink' embroidered flowers with 'fresh green' leaves trim the bodice and oversleeve. The voile overskirt falls from beneath the bust from open tucks which give fullness to the skirt. A deep tuck down the left side gives way to a further inset and add weight to the voile. The dress is in excellent condition. Only with small breaks in the voile at the back fastening. These have been lightly darned and are mainly hidden by the tucks. Also small breaks in the lining of the left sleeve. The decoration is not included.
