This is a curious little number, definitely made in the 1970s but with a very distinct Edwardian style.  Downton Abbey, anyone?  

The main body of the dress has a sateen finish. The top is adorned with lilac stretch lace with additional layered lace ruffles in a V shape to the waist and creates a cap sleeve. It has an original union label.

The neck is a high collar of scalloped lace and is fastened in the back with pearlescent lilac buttons on loop fastenings. There is a back zip fastening.

Condition

There is a small hole to the back of the lace which we have not fused or darned as we felt it would make it more noticeable than it is leaving it alone.  There was a pull and hole to the fabric on the waistband which has been sympathetically repaired by our seamstresses. Please see photos for details.
