The simple cut of the dress is perfect to display the elegant hand embroidery. A round collarless neckline is edged in rose patterned filet lace, which matches the inserts of lace on the bodice. A large panel of embroidery with flowers worked in satin stitch and French knots is edged in lace. The elbow length sleeves are embellished with more lace and embroidery. The skirt has two panels that are fully edged  and hemmed in wide bands of lace, and profusely hand embroidered with a garden of flowers. 

The dress opens at the center back with a row of mother of pearl buttons from the neck to the waist, and it snaps across the waist and down the left side. The petersham has been replaced with a new white grosgrain ribbon. There is an attached petticoat with a scalloped hem.

This amazing hand embroidered dress is in impeccable condition.
