ANTIQUE EDWARDIAN CHRISTENING GOWN WHITE WORK EMBROIDERY UU623

Description

This amazing gown has very elaborate white work embroidery done by hand along the bottom 15” as well as in the bodice.  The handwork is impeccable and the design charming.  The gown is made of a very fine cotton lawn.  It has ruffled eyelet at the end of the sleeves and at the collar. It is meant to be fastened with double buttons so consequently has button holes on both sides (see photo).
In good, antique condition, we note one sizeable repair on the back (see photo) and some light yellow age spotting visible in the photos.
Length:  38”
Across shoulders: 8”
This is an exquisite piece, almost museum quality!
