1905 Cotton Batiste Lingerie & Lace Dress W/Trailing Train “Museum Deaccession”
1905 Cotton Batiste Lingerie & Lace Dress W/Trailing Train “Museum Deaccession”
This stunning 1905 lingerie gown is crafted from luxurious lightweight cotton batiste. The pigeon breast bodice features delicate chemical lace insertions, pin-tuck pleating, and mm embroidery in a floral and geometric motif. It boasts a classic high collar with a lovely cotton and lace embroidered overlay. The three-quarter-length soft gigot sleeves are accented with lace, embroidery and layered lace at the cuffs. The waistline showcases a delicate embroidered yoke, framed in by pin tuck pleating. The skirt is embellished with an abundance of lace insertions and geometric pin tucks, all enclosed within mm embroidery extending beautifully to its trailing train. The gown is finished with delicate mini lace-covered buttons that cascade down the back of the bodice and an eye-hook closure secures the skirt. This exquisite formal lingerie dress, deaccessioned by the Valentine Museum in Richmond, Virginia, stands out as a rare treasure from the Edwardian era.

Gown Sizing: Vintage gowns tend to run small, but at Little Rose Bridal we can tailor them to fit today's modern bride! Most gowns can be altered up to four sizes, or we can fully reconstruct the gown for a complete transformation.
Bodice Closure Options: Because our vintage gowns are carefully restored by immersion cleaning, this requires the removal of original buttons to prevent metal oxidation on the fabric, giving brides the opportunity to customize their back closure. If the original buttons can be saved, we’ll restore them. Otherwise, choose from silk bridal buttons, freshwater pearl buttons, crystal buttons, embroidered buttons, a mesh zipper, or a corset insert to finish off your unique dream wedding gown.
Extras: We provide fully restored vintage veils, brand new hand-sewn premium nylon veils, and luxurious silk veils. Custom petticoats and era-appropriate slips are also available upon request. Reach out today to transform your dream wedding gown into reality!
Shipping: Each gown is meticulously packaged with the greatest of care. Tracking will be available and all our gowns are fully insured. Giving you peace of mind, to know your beautiful vintage wedding dress will arrive safely and as expected.
Our gift to you!
