Embroidered mixed lace tea dress, c.1922. High relief hand embroidery & handmade lace on a ground of ivory cotton tulle, with inset panels of delicate flat filet lace, textured Irish crochet lace and Venetian needle lace medallions. The straight silhouette is softened with bias-cut hem flounces and side-back panels. Loose fitting, it slips on without closures, and is sheer so will need a slip.
