Daisy Dress
c. 1910 · Vintage
A little piece of history, carefully given new life. This delicate dress dates back to the Edwardian era and is a beautiful example of the intricate construction and ornamentation once found in clothing. Made in soft ivory fabric and detailed with embroidered panels, lace insertions, gathered sections, and a scalloped floral hem, the dress is full of the small details that make antique garments so special. Because of its age and delicate condition, thisis best considered a collector's piece and archival garment. It is technically wearable, but I do not recommend regular or active wear. The antique fabric, lace, embroidery, and construction are extremely fragile and should be handled with care. This would make a beautiful addition to a private collection or as a display to be appreciated as a small piece of fashion history. Please note: This is an antique garment and should not be expected to have the durability of contemporary clothing. Minor imperfections, age-related wear, discoloration, repairs, and variations in the fabric are part of its history and character. Condition & Care: -Antique/Edwardian garment -Carefully restored and reworked -Wearable, but display or occsional gentle wear is strongly recommended -Extremely delicate due to age -Handwash gentle ONLY -Steam if needed -Store away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive handling and heat

The Tale
This was once some little girl's dress. Maybe she wore it to church on a Sunday, or ran around outside in it until the hem was dusty. I wonder where it's been, and how many little moments it got to be a part of. When I found this piece, it had already lived a life and needed considerable care. I carefully restored and reworked the dress while preserving as much of its original character and construction as possible. The intention was never to make it look new, but to honor what was already there and allow the garment to be appreciated for another generation.
