Labels: Franklin & Simon Co. Fifth Avenue N.Y.
The first Franklin Simon store opened at 414 Fifth Avenue in NYC in 1903 and remained in business until 1977. The company specialized in imported European goods at domestic prices.
Fiber/Care: unmarked, feels to be entirely silk, with a cotton inner waist ribbon
Condition: Better than good for its age. There are several tiny holes (no shattering), a few small tears (some mended, some not). There is discoloration and weakening at the underarms. None of the flaws stand out or detract from the overall beauty of the dress. It presents as perfect. A couple of the decorative sleeve buttons and an interior hook&eye or two are missing. The sash is several inches longer than the waistband when snapped closed at the existing snaps. This was the style at the time. It can easily be tucked in at the end, as we did, to create the look shown in the first photo. There's a curious piece of black lace at the upper inner bodice. It appears to have been added later, and can easily be removed.
*This antique 1910s dress is clean and ready to wear.*
