I just rescued this pretty amazing Edwardian dress from an antique mall...when I saw it I knew it was a goodie but checking it over I was downright stunned at the lack of damage. There is ONE area of damage, just the neckline has a little loose trim. And it would take a handy tailor about 15 mins to fix! the layers of chiffon are perfect, every button, tassel, trim....intact. This grand dame is coming with me to the Manhattan Vintage Show later this month...it's a costume department's dream!....unless Edwardian is, like, soooooo 100 years ago....
