hello all - any help pinpointing date on this gown would be much appreciated. it looks very similar to a house of worth piece dated 1908 - the gown i have does not have any labels within bodice. there is metal embroidered lace beneath a sheer overlay at chest, with floral lace accenting. thank you for your help!
1908 through to 1912 and even 1913 can look very much alike. It depends on whether its French couture, or Kansas City copy of a copy of a copy ready to wear... The skirt gradually gets tighter and the bodice less bloused, but otherwise they look a lot alike for 5 years. I suspect yours is somewhere in the middle - 1911ish
Thanks so much for helping date the garment - based on the photos I've given and these additional photos I'm attaching would you consider this possibly french couture? or kansas city copy? it appears to have a great deal of hand finishing but no label thanks again!
It is a very pretty garment. I am not seeing it as couture. Although having it in hand to inspect it would give more clues, it does not appear have the bells and whistles we look for. I agree with Jonathan on the date range.
