1919 Pink Cotton Voile Afternoon Dress – Embroidery & Lightness 

Step into the summer of 1919 with this exquisite pink cotton voile afternoon dress—a rare century-old gem that still feels effortlessly wearable today. The lightweight voile is breezy and soft, ideal for warm days, while the silhouette captures the romantic, post-Edwardian spirit of the time.

It features a double-tiered peplum at the waist, each layer edged in delicate lace that flutters with every step. The bodice is richly adorned with intricate embroidery and cutwork that feels both artisanal and elegant—proof of the fine craftsmanship of the era. A true example of antique beauty with modern-day charm.

 Styling Options:

– Wear it with lace-up boots or vintage-inspired Mary Janes for a classic historical look.

– Style it with flat leather sandals, a woven basket bag, and a wide straw hat for a romantic countryside vibe.

– Add a silk slip underneath and pair with minimal gold jewelry for an effortlessly chic summer outfit.

– Perfect for a garden party, vintage summer wedding, picnic, or a dreamy slow-fashion statement any day of the week.

Cool, soft, and full of handmade detail—this is the summer dress of antique dreams.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE!

Vintage and antique clothing often differ from modern standardized sizes. Many were handmade for an individual, so sizing can vary. Instead of relying on a labeled size, compare the given measurements to a garment that fits you well. If you have any questions about fit, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help!

Condition & Care

• Vintage and antique items have been previously loved, so small imperfections may exist.

• Hand-dyed pieces: Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, colors may not be perfectly even. Please wash these items delicately, preferably alone or with similar colors.

• Antique fabrics (pre-1930s): Delicate materials such as 1920s silk or Edwardian muslin require extra care. These fabrics can be fragile and should be worn loosely to prevent stress or tearing.

Things to Consider for Edwardian & Victorian Clothing:

• A marked XS piece may have medium-sized shoulders and hips but a tiny waist (corset-era sizing).

• Sleeves are often ¾ length, not full-length.

• Buttons may be mismatched due to age and previous repairs.

Shipping & International Buyers

• Ships within 1 business day.

• International buyers: Please provide a phone number for delivery purposes.

• Import taxes/duties are the buyer’s responsibility.

• All  shipments are insured, and I will assist in managing claims.
