Early 20th-Century Ivory Lace Gown with Silk Sash and Sofi Fur Trim
A rare and refined early 20th-century lace gown, exquisitely composed in fine ivory net and floral embroidered lace. The bodice is fashioned in an elegant one-shoulder draped silhouette, softly gathered across the torso to create natural movement and depth. Delicate floral motifs cascade throughout the surface, highlighting the intricate needlework characteristic of the Edwardian transitional period.
A sheer lace overlay extends gracefully from the shoulder, forming an ethereal trailing panel at the back. The long sleeve is finished with coordinating fur cuffs, while the hemline is adorned with a distinctive sofi fur trim, adding warmth, texture, and dramatic contrast to the softness of the lace. A silk waist sash encircles the midsection, gently defining the silhouette and tying at the side for subtle sculptural effect.
The skirt falls in a fluid A-line, with embroidered lace layered over a warm champagne-toned underlay, creating visual dimension and tonal richness. A striking and uncommon example of early 20th-century craftsmanship - suitable for collectors, couture study, or statement bridal presentation.
