1900s Lace & Cotton Batiste Lingerie Dress w/Trailing Train “Museum Deaccession”

 This stunning 1905 lingerie gown is crafted from luxurious lightweight cotton batiste. The pigeon breast bodice features delicate chemical lace insertions, pin-tuck pleating, and mm embroidery in a floral and geometric motif. It boasts a classic high collar with a lovely cotton and lace embroidered overlay. The three-quarter-length soft gigot sleeves are accented with lace, embroidery and layered lace at the cuffs. The waistline showcases a delicate embroidered yoke, framed in by pin tuck pleating. The skirt is embellished with an abundance of lace insertions and geometric pin tucks, all enclosed within mm embroidery extending beautifully to its trailing train. The gown is finished with delicate mini lace-covered buttons that cascade down the back of the bodice and an eye-hook closure secures the skirt. This exquisite formal lingerie dress, deaccessioned by the Valentine Museum in Richmond, Virginia, stands out as a rare treasure from the Edwardian era.
