Application lace/tulle skirt, c.1905
Lacy skirts from the early 20th century are as both versatile and beautiful. They can be worn for an informal wedding; or paired with a modern shell for a casual summer evening. With its small back train and bold pattern, this one has a memorable charm.
The skirt is fashioned from cream colored cotton tulle with exceptionally fine decoration. It is appliquéd with large tape lace bows, small princess lace flowers, and Irish crochet rosettes. The designer skillfully uses feminine, curvilinear forms, which have an almost Rococo fluency and grace.
The skirt is flared below the hipline, falling in soft folds. It is fuller and longer in back, forming a small train in back (ideal for a modern wedding). The skirt closes in back with hooks.
The condition is excellent and wearable. It is clean and ready to wear.
It measures: 28" waist (room to let out), 52" hip, and 43" center-front length (5" longer in back).
