Edwardian Lace, Net & Crochet Tea Gown designer-fred-perlberg The simplicity of the cut

The simplicity of the cut is balanced by that gorgeous bright tangerine

Skirt length: 17

tag that instantly dates it as one of his earliest pieces

The sleeves have huge wide cuffs that you may wear up as shown or down for a longer sleeve

I lowered my price quite a bit on this to accomodate for these small flaws and none of the breaks are so large as to detract or take away from this extraordinary textile and in my opinion the old and tiny repair where there has been color change adds to the immense beauty of this shawl

Edwardian Lace, Net & Crochet Tea Gown designer-fred-perlberg The simplicity of the cutThis gown is just extraordinary. Fine hand work throughout and an absolute wonderful example of the craft that went into day wear. There are four or five different embroidery techniques employed in this piece as well as crochet work and different grades of netting. I love the heavy embroidery used down each sleeve and in panels down the bodice and skirt. Huge open cut work panels of edged linen work their way through the design. Crochet covered ball
