A repro of this would definitely be the way to go if someone intends to wear it. As a former museum curator, and as a person who owns several Edwardian dresses, I would advise against wearing an original. While the material is in tact now, any stress to it and you would probably end up with shattering thus ruining a near perfect original. I hope whoever buys this is not going to wear it.
Ahh! So amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnna, you could totally recreate that if you wanted to! You're an amazing seamstress... you should try making that dress :)
ReplyDeleteIt is completely lovely indeed. I'd wear it all the time too.
ReplyDeleteada is gorgeous! her etsy shop is always stocked with amazing finds.
ReplyDeleteso lovely- it reminds me of old nurses uniforms, florence nightingale and candle lit hallways.

ReplyDeleteI really agree with you about the 'wearing every day' part. It's stunning!
And it doesn't look uncomfortable or too tight...
