Description

Absolutely beautiful Edwardian (Victorian?) white cotton nightgown with gorgeous hand crochet lace.
First the fabric - I'm guessing a very finely woven cotton - it has a special feel and drape to it. Light but with weight. Semi sheer.
High neckline with hand crochet lace trim on the neck, button placket and sleeve cuffs.
Very pretty white on white floral handmade embroidery at the neckline and sleeve cuffs.
Full gathered sleeve that hits at the elbow.
Covered button placket with mother of pearl buttons. Hand made button holes.
Rows of hand stitched pin tucks at the bodice.
Monogram over the heart - Teodora. What a great name.
Nightgown is cut straight with no darts.
Pleats at back neck for fullness, also a very pretty design detail.
No labels, hand made by a very talented seamstress. 100% cotton. Please hand wash warm, drip dry.
Very good vintage condition - the lace is intact and the cotton is in good strong condition. I see one smaller than pencil head brown mark on the front middle side.
