The details on this dress are breathtaking, and to think most of them were done by hand is really astounding. The sleeves and upper bodice are comprised of Val lace embroidered panels— the embroidery throughout this dress is so substantial, and has a lot of volume and dimension to it, making it unique among most Edwardian lawn dresses...
