Antique White Edwardian Mixed Lace Lingerie Day Dress, XS

Description: Antique white Edwardian Mixed Lace Lingerie Day Dress. Delicate mixed lace inserts feature white on white embroidery, needle lace, cut work/ eyelet and pin tuck inserts. The back closure is a series small fabric covered buttons and hook & eyes. The bodice has 2 hidden slits. I’m unsure of the purpose but the pleating of the bodice hides them well. Size XS Approximate measurements are: Bust 34” Shoulders 16” Waist 24” Length from the waist 40” The model is a modern size 4 and 5’4” *photographed with a full slip. The fabric is very sheer Condition: Very good for age. There are small spots on the back along the opening starting at the waist. These are from the metal hook & eyes that have rusted over time and stained the garment. This unfortunately is a common flaw in these sorts of garments. There are several very light colored stains on the skirting. Luckily, the busy nature of the inserts make these much less evident. One very small hole in the needle lace. Please review the pictures. No returns are accepted.
