Satin and lace underdress, c.1912
The underdress is too useful to discard—perhaps you have a gown from this period with shattered insides that need to be replaced. The skirt is ivory satin.
The bodice has three layers; an ivory satin base covered with a layer of ivory chiffon and ecru cotton lace on top. The bodice is boned at the center back. The underdress closes in back with hooks.
Unfortunately the elegant blue silk chiffon evening gown that covered this underdress died, and this is all that is left. The gown opened at the lower front, revealing the blue satin panel hand sewn to the front hem. This panel can be changed to one of another color, depending on what you do to rebuild the gown.
The condition is almost excellent. The lace has darkened with age around the neckline.
It measures: 36" bust, 27" waist, 42" hip, and 57" from the shoulder to the hem.
