Original Edwardian dress from the first decade of the 20th century, likely somewhere between 1905 and 1909), in the most amazing shade of medium purple trending toward plum.

  • Two silk fabrics - one with tiny cream-colored clovers creating a paisley pattern, one solid 
  • Two varieties of soft, ecru lace of (either cotton or silk, possibly a blend), one with purple centered flower medallions
  • Bodice, lined in solid cream-colored cotton, has short boning from waist to below bust, all the way around
  • Mancheron styling at upper sleeves, lace lower sleeves with no closure (they have slits for easy on/off)
  • Unlined (because you will be wearing petticoats -- not included) skirt has decorative pleating details, and is longer at back
  • Both pieces close at back with (lots and lots of) hooks&eyes

Shown with Delphine the Mannequin wearing two of my antique petticoats, which are not included.

Labels: none

Fiber/Care: silk with cotton lace and lining / were I keeping it, I would wash it carefully after the first wearing, but I recommend you have it dry-cleaned as needed, and insist it be laundered separately, in a net bag (always clean your antique and vintage garments before storing them away for any lengthy period -- here's why)

Condition: Really good, and excellent for its age (about 115). Comes to you uncleaned, with that "I'm dusty" scent (no mildew, nothing unpleasant), and with various stains on the lower part of the skirt, particularly at the edge (all are inconspicuous, and I suspect most will lift with cleaning, though I make no guarantees). Some of the lace is coming off the top of the collar. There are a few minor, scattered teensy tiny holes, plus stress holes near the topmost skirt hook&eye (as shown in photo collage, but does not show when worn, as it's concealed beneath the bodice cummerbund). Dress is sound and wearable. Do so gently and with care. 

Garment Measurements:
 BODICE - 
  shoulders: 15"/38cm
  sleeves: 24"/61cm
  bodice length: 17"/43cm
  bust: 34"/86.25cm 
  waist: 24"/61cm
 SKIRT - 
  waist: 24"/61cm (you can move the top eye to gain 1/2", but that's it)
  hips (9" below waist): 42"/106.65cm
  length: 42"/ 106.5cm at front, 45.5"/115.5cm at back

The dress is a near-perfect fit on Delphine, who measures b: 33.5", w: 23". Remember, though, she has no give at all. So, if your natural waist is 25" or even possibly 26", this may work for you, depending on how fond you are of breathing. My 26.5-27" waist would NOT fit, even corseted, and I am devastated. Also, Delphine is 6'2" tall, so the dress will likely be longer on you! It is a floor-length skirt.

Elegant Budget Dress Watch With Good Everyday Practicality
Color: Silver-Gold Watch-G5526
This OLEVS men's dress watch has a clean, classic look that works well for office wear, casual outfits, and more formal occasions. The large 42mm face is easy to read, and the Roman numeral styling gives it a more traditional dress-watch appearance without looking overly flashy. The polished stainless steel case and bracelet also give it a nicer presentation than expected for this price range. The quartz movement is simple and practical, with reliable daily timekeeping and very little maintenance beyond normal battery replacement. The day/date display is useful, and the luminous hands and markers help with quick readability in dimmer lighting. The included adjustment tool is also a nice touch since the metal bracelet will likely need sizing for the best fit. The 30M water resistance is fine for hand washing, rain, and light splashes, but this is not a watch for swimming or showering. The mineral crystal and stainless steel build feel suitable for everyday wear, though it should still be treated like a dress watch rather than a rugged sports watch. Overall, this is a good-looking, affordable analog watch that offers solid style, useful features, and gift-ready packaging.

Classic clean look thats noticeable and attractive
Color: Black-Gold Watch-G5593, Color: Black-Gold Watch-G5593
This is such a clean looking watch with the attractive black face on polished gold and silver background. For the cost, these Olevs watches seem to always be a safe bet and an anticipation to take the lid off the box. Fun to wear because they look great and fun to collect because there are so many varieties with new models often. The indicator markers on the face are raised and the color contrast makes it easy to read. The generously sized magnifier over the date make it easy to read even at an angle. Setting the watch is elementary with the extension of the single adjustment crown. At first glance, the short Olevs name and raised crown logos might pass as a Rolex. The relatively light weight of the watch with the small rounded link sizes make the watch easy and comfortable to wear. There are no worries with a metal bracelet here because the watch comes with a small tool to push the pins out so you can adjust the sizing on your own with just a little bit of care and patience. Just look for the arrow markers on the inside of the links that are able to be removed to know which way to push the pins out. Since the links are relatively small, it’s easy to get the size just right. There is a half size micro adjustment on the clasp if you need further precision in sizing.
