Crisp Linen and Lace Dress

Crisp white linen lavishly embroidered with flowers and trailing vines, is further embellished with Cluny lace insertion in this pristine dress, circa 1910.

The bodice closes at the center front with crocheted buttons and a double edge of lace.  The long sleeves have fitted cuffs with five buttons and appliquéd leaves.  These leaves are generously appliquéd on the back of the bodice as well.  There is a fitted waistline with hooks and eyes at the skirt front.  On either side there are three wide tucks that are gathered near the hemline and held in place by an appliquéd leaf for a modified hobble skirt look.  This is repeated at the back of the skirt as well.

This charming dress is in excellent condition.
