VICTORIAN CHRISTENING GOWN ANTIQUE LACE EMBROIDERED

VICTORIAN

 CHRISTENING GOWN

Excellent Condition.

Here for auction is very pretty vintage/Victorian child’s dress or Christening gown. I am not an expert and can only describe what I can see, please look at the photos to see how beautiful this dress is.

The dress is made from a fine cotton or linen. It is a very long dress with quite a high waistline. It has a very pretty bodice panel that is decorated with fine embroidery pin tucks and drawn thread work in rows. There is a matching panel at the back of the dress too! The neckline is decorated with fine lace and a row of hand stitched herringbone embroidery. The dress has long sleeves which are slightly puffed at the shoulder and finished with lace to match the neck line. The cuffs of the sleeves also have a delicately detailed band of cutwork – see photos.

The full skirt is finished with five tiny rows of pin tucks.

Measures 8.5inches across the waistline and is 36inches from shoulder to the hem. It fastens at the back with ties and a cloth covered button.

The dress is a nice fresh white colour and in good condition, I cannot see any faults with the dress.

Please note that vintage linens and clothing are old preworn items and cannot therefore be expected to be in perfect “new” condition. I will mention any damage, marks, tears etc where I can, but am not able to list every tiny flaw. Often vintage linens also have a small embroidered or written marking to identify the owners when the items were sent out to the laundry.
