Edwardian Blue Silk Embroidered Lace Beaded Butterfly Ball Gown Dress. Tweet
|
This antique Edwardian Titanic era blue silk embroidered lace beaded butterfly ball gown dress dates from 1912. It is made of a pale pastel baby blue color silk taffeta fabric, with an off white sheer silk chiffon embroidered fabric overlay and fine cobweb Chantilly lace sleeves. There are beaded butterfly appliqués accenting the dress. This beautiful ball gown was custom made, has a long floor length with back train skirt and attached carrying strap, a squared neckline, flared tiered lace sleeves, hook closures on the back and is unlined. The dress measures 58 inches long in the front, 67 inches long in the back, with a 26 inch waist and 36 inch bust. The dress is in fair as-is condition with several frays, splits shattering along the sheer silk fabric overlay, some fraying discoloration under the arms and the lace sleeves are loose needing reattaching. Included is some extra unused matching silk chiffon embroidered fabric which could perhaps be used for repairs and restoration. The gown belonged to socialite Miss Marianna Wright Taussig of South Dwight Place, Englewood, NJ. This is truly a wonderful piece of provenance and textile art which would be great for design!
