THE HISTORY & TEXTILE ARTISTRY Dating precisely to the Edwardian era (circa 1905–1915),  this dress represents the height of children's formal attire from the period. Often referred to as "white-work," these garments were the ultimate staples for special occasions, church, or formal family portraits. This piece features a classic, sweet square neckline and an exceptionally wide, intricate band of eyelet lace ( broderie anglaise ) adorning the lower skirt hem. The construction is a masterclass in garment history, relying almost entirely on fine  French seams  and expert hand-and-machine finishing that allowed the delicate cotton batiste to survive beautifully for over a century. USAGE While originally worn as a cherished party dress,  today these rare, well-preserved antique white dresses are highly sought after for high-end boutique children’s photography, historical museum displays, or as a breathtaking heirloom alternative for a modern baptism or dedication ceremony.  DESIGN & SPECIFICATIONS Era:   Edwardian (Circa 1905–1915) Material:   100% Fine Cotton Lawn / Batiste Colorway:   Pristine Antique White Key Design Elements:   Square Neckline, Deep Broderie Anglaise Eyelet Hem Structural Construction:   Premium French Seams Throughout Estimated Size:   Modern Child's Size 4 / 5   (Please review flat measurements below) DETAILED FLAT MEASUREMENTS Shoulder to Hem Length:   26" Waist Width:   14"   (28" total circumference) Shoulder to Waist Length:   8" Sleeve Length:   8.5" Back Opening Length:   15" CONDITION REPORT PLEASE NOTE:  To guarantee the preservation of this 110+ year-old textile, this antique garment is sold strictly  As-Is / No Returns .
