This MOST magnificent, very historically accurate and exquisitely made 2 piece
Edwardian tea/visiting gown, circa the style of the year of 1903, is of the very finest, genuine 100% silk, crisp TAFFETA (not dupioni, nor a "blend" or what passes for "taffeta" as you may have seen elsewhere!)...Superior, top of the line shimmering pure silk, with a beautiful iridescence and lovely crisp yet drapable hand, in palest chablis-yellow with woven fine raised satin stripes in golden-caramel brown...This is all genuine pure silk and made just as the antique gowns were crafted....Only the main seams and stress points of this gown have been machine sewn---ALL others including all of the trims and all of the lace elements in entirety, have been completely HAND SEWN in this outfit, making it truly heirloom-quality!
Hours and hours of fine handwork have gone into the creation of this elegant beauty and it is a true melding of the finest antique and contemporary elements.

The bodice is lined in finest cotton batiste and all edges on both pieces have been French-seamed or handfinished....just as in the antique gowns that are so treasured today...created with great faithfulness to the originals as is my absolute mission.

This gown is in two parts, bodice and skirt--making it very versatile and usable with other elements...and it is also very adaptable to many sizes as I have made it a point to create clothing which will be wearable and comfortable for the moden figure, yet capture the true essence of Edwardian and Victorian times. Shown on a size 8/10 model, can be adaptable up to approx. a size 14 or down to approx. a 6-8. I have not added fasteners or hooks as yet to the backs of any of the pieces so that they may be individually sized to the buyer's needs, and will do so upon purchase as per buyer's wishes.

The skirt is seven-gored, French-seamed and hand-hemmed; has a slight train, elaborate bodice has inner sleeves of handsewn and handdyed lace, "Gibson" styled pouter-pigeon bodice with five-pleated silk revers over the shoulders that feature handsewn antique Edwardian-era zigzag trim overlaid upon handdyed deep caramel brown silk inserts, as well as handdyed silk and gold-threaded buttons across each rever. Front bodice edges are trimmed in exquisitely fine hand dyed golden brown silk satin outlining the frontspieces. 
The long-sleeved underblouse, which is attached to the silk bodice, is finest ecru cotton batiste overlaid in handdyed Venise and genuine antique French laces---all hand sewn/appliqued!

The girdle-type flared belt is hand dyed pure silk in deepest golden caramel brown to match all of the other elements, with an extraordinary applique frontspiece of an authentic antique Edwardian diamante filigree "buckle" that echoes the beautiful antique "diamond' buckle on the hat.

Waist size from 26-27" up to 33", and bust size up to 44"; will be adjusted according to the buyer's individual needs. This is a very flattering, wonderful style for a wide range of figure types.
Perfect for any Victorian/Edwardian event---and please be sure to view the gorgeous matching hat and cape.

Shown worn over full Edwardian corset and petticoats--not included--and I strongly recommend wearing these or some similar type of foundation underneath, for the very best look and fit of the total garment.
