About the Item
It’s easy to see why tea dresses such as this were sometimes called “pneumonia dresses”: their weightlessness provided little coverage and even less warmth (though the pounds of undergarments certainly compensated for both). Replete with the ornamentation for which Victorian and Edwardian garments were famous, this one would also make an unforgettable wedding dress (provided the bride is a size 000!).
White net half-sleeve tea dress with wide, round neckline and self ruffles at sleeve edges, shoulders and hem; overlaid in scalloped lace from bust to mid-shin. Pink rosebuds around full bust circumference, at elbows and around hips, plus barely-visible double row of pink satin ribbon around interior of bodice at bust line. Snapping rear closure from right rear neck to derrière with two hooks and eyes at rear waist; interior waistline reinforced with 2 ½” of grosgrain ribbon but dress unlined.
