- Wedding dress, c.1907. Converted to day dress. Cream and white pouter pigeon bodice with lace and high collar. Full skirt and separate cumberbund. The shape of this dress is exemplary of the Edwardian pouter pigeon front, with a tiny waist to match.

The only readily noticeable differences are the absences of lace trim in the cuff and on the china silk bodice rosettes.
