- Description
- Tea dress, c.1908-1910. Cream machine valenciennes lace with diamond floral pattern. Half length kimono sleeves, round neck; long skirt. Slight pouter pigeon front. The neckline is high and round, edged with some lace. The bodice slopes inwards towards the waist, where it is gathered slightly. There is a seam that goes from under each arm to the waist to set the sleeves behind the slight pouter pigeon front. They have a kimono cut at the top. The bodice is lined with cotton lawn, which has two pleats on the front where it attaches to the waistband. There is no band at the waist, but its seam is bound by the same lawn lining fabric. The skirt is attached to the waistband in four gores that flare out somewhat. The closure runs from the neckline to just below the hips, at centre back. Hooks and eyes are used.
