SALE Antique Victorian Cream Cotton Doll Dress for Medium Size Bisque or China Doll

Dolls : Doll Clothing, Accessories

 

This is a sweet simple antique cream colored cotton doll dress with turkey track embroidery and pleating. Though it is subtly simple in design the seamstresses skills are evident in the even double row of vertical pleats on either side of the front opening, the delicate embroidery in pink and red, the hand finished button holes and well crafted collar. The plain cotton fabric is sturdy. This dress is estimated to date from the late 1800s and would be a perfect gown for a bisque or china doll of that period, approximately 20" tall.

The dress measures 15" shoulder to hem, 6" flat across the chest between the underarms, 3.5" flat across the neck opening, 6.5" long sleeves from shoulder to bottom, 2" flat across the armhole, and 1.875" flat across the cuff.

Condition is generally good. There is some age discoloration and foxing. I have not washed this dress to attempt to remove any stains for fear of fading the embroidery.

Simple perfection are the best words to describe this antique garment.
