10s Lovely Faint Rose Printed Cotton Lawn Dress$275.00
This is a lovely 1910s rose printed cotton lawn dress. The dress has a center panel of bobbinet and a higher square neckline trimmed in pastel blue silk. It has dolman styled ¾ length sleeves with bobbinet ruffled cuffs. The dress has a fitted waistband and the skirt has a straight simple front panel with three ruffles that run around the back of the dress. The skirt is A-line falling to the ankles. The dress fastens up the front with hooks and eyes. The left side of the center panel and the waistband wraps around to the side where the skirt fastens with hooks and eyes. The dress is a rose print and has some warm-toned discoloration all over but in a few spots where the dress is white. Under the ruffles, the print is of blue and pink roses and is just the most darling thing ever. There is an F and L written in pen on the neckline. I am not sure if this is the original owner's initials or if it is just some marketing added to the dress sometime in its lifetime.
Condition:
The dress is in great condition and is still wearable overall even with the slightly warm-toned discoloration and fading to the print on the dress. There is also a small stain on the front of the waistband. The dress has been professionally hand laundered and is ready to wear.
