Antique Embroidered Net Gown - Help Dating & Any More Info. on Lace?

[DaisyandStella]

Hi all,

I have an antique white embroidered net lace gown and i'm hoping for some help dating if Edwardian or earlier and also any additional information about the lace. The previous owner said it was their great grandmothers and they wanted to wear it as a wedding dress so unfortunately they had added velcro (gasp!) to the back closure. I had my seamstress take out the velcro and add white eye/hooks to blend in and i'm sure originally it had the eye/hook closures down the back.

Any help dating and if there's anything specific you could tell me about the net lace would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ~ Brooke

That is a beautiful dress. It does look Edwardian to me, pre 1910.
Let's see what our other members have to say.

It looks to me like a wedding dress from about 1907-1910 that was remade in the 1930s. So probably a daughter wearing her mother's wedding dress.

Thank you Jonathan! Can you tell me more about what may have been remade besides the velcro that has now been removed again? I plan to list her in my shop and want to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!!
