This incredible antique Edwardian two-piece dress was made in the early 19th century, and it is a stunning, museum-worthy (and museum quality) work of art. These Victorian/Edwardian era dresses are commonly mis-referred to as tea dresses or tea gowns, but they were actually known as "lingerie dresses." With this piece you are getting two pieces in one, which were meant to be worn together with the skirt layered under, but in reality can be mixed and matched countless ways, worn together or separately. This is very rare, because it's not easy to find an antique dress in this short of a length. This would be such a beautiful "Something Old" for a bride! The details on this dress are breathtaking, and to think most of them were done by hand is really astounding. The dress is made of a soft ivory cotton voile, with Val lace panels creating an upper yoke at the mock-neck bodice. Below that yoke, the bodice is gathered, to create the full-bust shape that is very typical in Edwardian fashion. Schiffli broderie anglaise cutwork and floral embroidery are featured throughout. Pintucks in the skirt create a mostly straight, column shape. I love how the hem of the actual dress is perfectly mirrored in the underskirt's hem, with scalloped hems. This dress is in remarkably beautiful condition considering its age; it's only becoming harder to find these rare antique dresses in wearable condition. It's especially hard to find them in a size that is not completely tiny, and this dress is able to fit a more inclusive range of sizes.

Measurements: Will best fit a size Small/Medium; it is shown unpinned on a size X-Small. 

Dress:

Shoulders: 15.75" 

Chest: about 40" laid flat, with extra room because of the shape (Note that the armholes are dropped which is meant to achieve that Edwardian "pigeon-breast" shape, but also offers some flexibility. It is NOT meant to be tightly fitted.)

Waist: 28.5"

Hips are open

Length: about 40" from shoulder to hem; about 14" shoulder to top of waistband is

Skirt:

Waist: 29"

Hips: open up to about 46"

Length: 43" (NOTE: it would be easy to hem the skirt even with the scalloped edge, as the bottom half is a separate panel so the length could come from  the top of that panel to make it shorter)

* both pieces worn together would be about 57" from shoulder to hem; 

Great antique condition. This dress is in remarkably wonderful condition, especially considering it is over 120 years old. It's only becoming harder to find these rare antique dresses in wearable condition. But note that it is not perfect and there is some minor wear to the fabric in places, including minor run in the skirt's fabric. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email [email protected] for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.

Just buy them
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Small
Used to wear sliders all the time, figured i'd switch it up. These are super comfortable, probably the best material underwear I own. Great to just lounge around it or wear everyday. Fit is really good, I got a small and about 29-30" waist. Good bang for your buck too. I've washed them a handful of times and they hold up great, fit great and dont' shrink.

Good underwear. Husband likes them.
Color: Black, Size: Large
Husband wears XL and XL fit well. This is the second pack I got for him. They are decent quality, look and feel nice, not baggy yet not too tight anywhere. They are somewhat thin (but still supportive) and do not make him sweat more so he loves that. No problems washing (they didn’t shrink). Will continue to repurchase these.

Comfortable
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Medium
I have had a lifetime of different briefs, some name brand, some generic. I am 165 lbs, wear Medium, and these are closest to feeling commando of anything I’ve ever worn. Comfortable, not too tight waist and legs, and yes silky touch yet not slinky. Maybe not for support wear, but casual and cool comfort, the “Cat’s meow”. I just came on to order some more

Great fabric - pouch too small!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
First, the fabric used is wonderfully soft and comfortable. It;s the first thing noticed when package was opened. Strange, but the elastic waistband is about 1/2", very similar to a woman's style panty. But it's comfortable and easily acceptable. The main problem is that the pouch that holds your "stuff" in place, is oddly and unnaturally small. Small enough where this average man's "stuff" tends to fall out of the pouch on one side or the other. I sleep in my underwear, and every time I did with these, I awoke with the front pouch off to the side and everything down there was hanging outside of the underwear. They also seem to do well through a wash cycle. However, if the main reason for wearing underwear is to keep your stuff in place, these fail from the beginning. I ordered another brand from overseas, and they had the exact same problems as these! I wonder if that's just how they make them outside of the USA. The Bottom Line? Uncle Steve Disapproved!

Premium cotton underwear at a modest price. Highly recommend!
Color: Multicolora6-4 Pack, Size: X-Large
Bought my husband 2 variety packs of these, and they are still great over 2 years in. High quality cotton briefs are breathable, colors are vibrant, and the fit is spot on. A good value at this price point compared to designer brands, and the product overall exceeds expectations in terms of comfort level, durability and appearance.
