wedding dress

- Repository

- HV972.5.5
- Description
- Wedding dress or perhaps a regular dress once worn as a wedding dress, c.1910. Made from a heavyweight beige cotton. Embroidered net collar and yoke, and embroidered front panel. Princess seams and pin tucks form a flared, pleated skirt. Long sleeves, and pink edging on some seams. The fabric is a heavy, somewhat glossy cotton that makes the dress seem more like an item to be for everyday activities instead of as a wedding dress. Its silhouette is distinctive of the late Edwardian period, with its higher waist, close natural shaping, and somewhat flared ankle length skirt. In the bodice, two pleats on each side front create fullness. The collar and yoke are made of netting, lined with white silk, edged with pink ribbon, and embroidered in an undulating pattern of lines. There are two small brown buttons (previously covered in pink fabric) on either side of the net yoke. Two pin tucks run the length of either side of the back bodice. The sleeves are full length, with gathered caps and nine 1cm pin tucks down the length of each. There are two false previously pink buttons on each cuff, which are also edged in pink. A two inch waistband extends from the centre front panel to the back. There is a previously pink button on each front corner, and the whole band is edged in ribbon. The top left button is missing. It has a pink lining on the inside. The skirt is made up of six gores, not including the centre front panel. The left and right side of the skirt each have eight pleats, released halfway down with pin tucks. On the centre back, a pin tuck on either side of the closure released a large inverted box pleat. A false hem is hand sewn at the bottom, and machine sewn at its top. The dress closes with hooks and eyes along the centre back, from the top of the collar to a third of the way down the skirt. On the centre front, there is a panel that extends from the shoulders to the hem, using princess seaming. It is edged along its seams with pink ribbon. It is covered in in a hand-applied ribbon of couched thread, as well as some embroidered french knot flowers down the centre front line. The dress is mainly machine sewn. Seams are finished by whip-stitching the seam allowances together when the selvedge is not used.

- Description
- Dress, c.1884. Beige silk taffeta and ivory silk floral brocade, mauve trim. Bodice with low square neck, half length sleeves with ruffle cuffs. Skirt with train, drapery around hips, ruffles down front. Trousseau for wedding. The bodice is made of beige taffeta, lined with white silk twill sewn together with the main fabric. It has a low square neckline. Its half length sleeves are attached at the armscye with a corded seam, and at the cuff they have a large pleated ruffle in mauve silk taffeta lined with the same fabric as the skirt. Besides this, there is no decoration on the bodice (it is noted in the accession file that the trim is missing from the bodice). Shaping comes from two darts on either side front and six panels in the back. There is boning in each dart and one in each side seam. The bodice extends to the hips, cinching in at the waist. At the centre back of the waist there is a white silk ribbon the extends to the left, and may have also been on the right as well originally. It closes at centre front with hooks and eyes. The skirt is made of ivory brocade with a sparse pattern of small pink floral bouquets. It has a grosgrain waistband that closes with two hooks and eyes at centre back. The opening in the skirt below does not have any closures. There are six gores, all sewn together with the cotton voile lining except for the centre front seam. At the top of the skirt there is a section of drapery (also lined in cotton voile) that circles around the hips to the side backs. It is ruched at centre front in three vertical lines. Under the drapery on the right side, there is a pocket with a cotton twill bag inserted into the seam. The skirt is heavily pleated at the back, where there is also a long train. The front or the skirt, extending to the front two gores, has a thin band of mauve ribbon right under the top drapery. Regularly spaced down the front of the skirt there are two rows of mauve pleated ruffles, like those on the bodice cuffs. At the hem there is another pleated ruffle that runs its whole length, made of the main dress fabric. The bodice is entirely hand sewn. The straight seams on the skirt are sewn with a chain stitch machine, and the rest is done by hand. The seams are finished with whip-stitching where the selvedge is not used.
