Item Tag Fine Cotyon Lawn

This is the largest women’s garment I have ever owned in more than 40 years of collecting. It is an Edwardian lawn nightgown. The cotton fabric is so beautiful. The bust is 45 inches, the waist is 48 inches and the hips will fit up to 54 inches. The shoulders are 18 inches across. From shoulder to hem is 62 inches. It would make the woman well over 6 foot tall. There are scattered spots on the front with most on the lower front, otherwise this would be excellent condition. The embroidered flutter sleeves are charming. Ribbon would have been drawn around the neckline l and also as a sleeve decoration. It has a number written on the garment. See photo. It is lovely.
