Late Edwardian, early 20s sheer, swiss dot cotton, embroidered polka dot dress. This dress came from an estate of a woman whose grandmother (last photo) had worked as a midwife in Texas, from the late teens-40s. Because of this, I believe that all the garments retrieved from this estate were all handmade. If this is the case, the woman was an incredible seamstress! Ruffles don the collar & sleeves. Shimmery baby pink embroidered polka dots through out. Snap closures on the bodice & waist. Such an incredible dress. Freshly laundered & ready to wear.
Issues: Overall very sturdy condition. There are a couple small holes but nothing major & they seem fairly isolated.
