c. 1912 Rare Trained and Embroidered Royal Court Gown!

c. 1912 RARE Trained and Embroidered Royal Court Gown! This is the type of gown only worn to the most formal events, generally the longest trains were specifically for presentation at court..  the ROYAL courts.  Extraordinary! A gold silk gown with heavy metallic embroidery in beautiful large floral designs, with a sweet,  bit of light blue chiffon at hemline. Vibrant colors! Attached graduated golden brocaded long train which is designed to hold, or attach at the waist when necessary, as you see in the photos. Apparently, originally , this train was lined in light blue silk matching the hemline, but that lining is gone. It's unnecessary, but  if you want to restore the gown to it's original state, you could do so! There are rhinestones at the sleeve ends and gold beading at the front bodice. The condition is very good to excellent. There are underarm stains in the lining, but nothing really seen from the outside. The train just needs a bit of tidying up due to the missing lining, and the hooks need to be replaced to hold up the train as you see (it's just pinned in the photo). Measures: 36" bust, up to 29/30" waist, 56" long from shoulder to hem in front.  It isn't in fragile condition, but it's a delicate gown in wonderful condition!. There are extra embroidered medallions on the underside of the end of the train ,a nice surprise ,and the inner most thin gauze under the sleeves is the most delicate part and is starting to go, but hard to find this material still in any Edwardian gowns, and is fine even without any of it. As for the "WOW" factor, this gold embroidered trained gown is "it"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS GOWN TO VIEW AND TO TOUCH!!!

From a smoke free environment. Thanks for looking!!
