Original Edwardian dress from the first decade of the 20th century, likely somewhere between 1905 and 1909), in the most amazing shade of medium purple trending toward plum.

  • Two silk fabrics - one with tiny cream-colored clovers creating a paisley pattern, one solid 
  • Two varieties of soft, ecru lace of (either cotton or silk, possibly a blend), one with purple centered flower medallions
  • Bodice, lined in solid cream-colored cotton, has short boning from waist to below bust, all the way around
  • Mancheron styling at upper sleeves, lace lower sleeves with no closure (they have slits for easy on/off)
  • Unlined (because you will be wearing petticoats -- not included) skirt has decorative pleating details, and is longer at back
  • Both pieces close at back with (lots and lots of) hooks&eyes

Shown with Delphine the Mannequin wearing two of my antique petticoats, which are not included.

Labels: none

Fiber/Care: silk with cotton lace and lining / were I keeping it, I would wash it carefully after the first wearing, but I recommend you have it dry-cleaned as needed, and insist it be laundered separately, in a net bag (always clean your antique and vintage garments before storing them away for any lengthy period -- here's why)

Condition: Really good, and excellent for its age (about 115). Comes to you uncleaned, with that "I'm dusty" scent (no mildew, nothing unpleasant), and with various stains on the lower part of the skirt, particularly at the edge (all are inconspicuous, and I suspect most will lift with cleaning, though I make no guarantees). Some of the lace is coming off the top of the collar. There are a few minor, scattered teensy tiny holes, plus stress holes near the topmost skirt hook&eye (as shown in photo collage, but does not show when worn, as it's concealed beneath the bodice cummerbund). Dress is sound and wearable. Do so gently and with care. 

Garment Measurements:
 BODICE - 
  shoulders: 15"/38cm
  sleeves: 24"/61cm
  bodice length: 17"/43cm
  bust: 34"/86.25cm 
  waist: 24"/61cm
 SKIRT - 
  waist: 24"/61cm (you can move the top eye to gain 1/2", but that's it)
  hips (9" below waist): 42"/106.65cm
  length: 42"/ 106.5cm at front, 45.5"/115.5cm at back

The dress is a near-perfect fit on Delphine, who measures b: 33.5", w: 23". Remember, though, she has no give at all. So, if your natural waist is 25" or even possibly 26", this may work for you, depending on how fond you are of breathing. My 26.5-27" waist would NOT fit, even corseted, and I am devastated. Also, Delphine is 6'2" tall, so the dress will likely be longer on you! It is a floor-length skirt.

New Favorite Work Shoe
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Ivory
These Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Daily shoes have quickly become my new favorite work shoes. They’re incredibly comfortable right out of the box, with just the right amount of cushioning and support to get through long days on my feet. I love that they look sleek and professional while still feeling casual enough to wear anywhere. The build quality is top-notch—durable materials and solid construction that make them feel like they’ll last a long time. Overall, these shoes strike the perfect balance between comfort, style, and practicality. I can honestly say I look forward to wearing them every day. Highly recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet but doesn’t want to sacrifice style.

Well Made for price and style
Size: 10.5, Color: Black/Ivory
Great fit and very flexible. I also recommend buying shoe savers when purchasing this product. To help with toes wrinkles. The pair itself is stylish and very comfortable. Any purchase of this product will be greatly satisfied.

Quality at affordable prices.
Size: 11.5, Color: British Tan/Ivory
Best old guy shoes. They look great and have support for feet. You don't want cheap department shoes. You will pay for that in your later years.
