Antique Wedding Gown

Hello everyone~ I have another piece that I’m looking for insight on. It’s quite a fancy dress so I’m thinking wedding? Is this Edwardian? Thanks so much! You’re all extremely helpful!

Just as much as wedding dress I see fancy victorian whites - but others are FAR more educated on this subject.

Gorgeous! Is it two pieces - skirt and bodice? The bodice looks like it may have that pigeon breast silhouette which was very popular in early 1900s.

I love the lace detailing at shoulders and gathered sleeves.

Hello~ Thanks so much for the insight. It’s two pieces although there are no hooks on the back of the bodice so it may be unfinished?

Its beautiful. As Amanda has mentioned, I don't think it is a wedding dress. I think it is a fancy Edwardian era dress, perhaps to worn for a young woman's graduation, or a porch or garden party.

Thanks for the information. I had considered it being a graduation dress too.

It's stunning! I'm still learning about the earlier eras, but I agree this looks like an Edwardian cotton lawn dress. It looks in fabulous condition, it's very romantic and feminine looking.
