Antique Edwardian 1910s Sheer White Cotton Lingerie Dress with Embroidery, Medium 28" Waist

Gorgeous antique 1910s Edwardian cotton lingerie dress crafted from exceptionally fine, sheer, and lightweight materials. The body of the dress is composed of an airy windowpane-weave cotton combined with equally delicate sheer white cotton, creating a soft, translucent effect typical of high-quality lingerie dresses from the period.

Dainty floral embroidery decorates the neckline and attached front vest panel, continuing along the elbow-length sleeves and cascading down the skirt in elegant finger-like projections. The skirt is further detailed with a horizontal embroidered band accented by diamond-shaped filet lace and embroidered insets.

The dress fastens with numerous hook-and-loop closures down the center front bodice, transitioning to snaps across the left side waist and back to hook-and-loop closures along the upper portion of the left side skirt. An interior cotton grosgrain waistband encircles the waist, providing gentle structure and support.
