1910's Art Nouveau Trim Cotton Wrapper
Fabricated in a soft polished cotton with an art nouveau border print trim.
A perfect blend of Eastern and Reform Dress styles
Likely intended for lounging or home wear.
May have been a maternity piece.
Fastens with hooks and eyes/bars across the shoulder and down the wearer’s left side.
Tucks on the front shoulders release over the bust for fit.
Box pleat at center back
Gathered sleeve caps
Binding on armhole seams
Gussets added at side seams for additional fullness.
Interior seams are raw/cut with hand finishing
Wide 3 1/8” single needle hem
Maker: Unknown. Likely a home sewn piece.
Condition: Good. Stress to the seam on the right shoulder. I have noted a few tiny 1 mm pin holes scattered and a slightly larger cluster (about 1/8”) on the front just above the hem (last photo) I have replaced a few hooks and eyes and a few stitches on some of the hooks and eyes/bars. Very light colored soiling to the trim at the opening on the hem. See photos. I have not cleaned this piece, but it is very clean with no major stains or tears.
