Beautiful antique Boho style dress or nightgown - a crisply cool summer dress.
White very loose-fitting dress has pretty cotton darned net lace inserted in panels at the bodice and a diamond shaped embroidered panel below the front neck.
The lower-calf length dress has a raised waist and elbow length sleeves. The sleeves come to a V point at the top of the arm and are trimmed with the same lace. A narrow cotton lace with eyelet holes threaded through with ribbon trims the neckline. The sleeves are cut in one piece with the bodice. Originally, this would have been a nightgown. The fabric is cotton. No labels, it's a custom made garment, and bears the owner's name stamped at the back of the neck for laundry ID. 1910s-early 1920s.
