A very fine example of an 1830s white summer dress. The dress is made of a fine cotton lawn. It has a ruched bodice set amongst eyelet whitework embroidery. Typically for the mid 1830s the sleeves are very full and held in at the top with bands of pleats. The cuffs have white work embroidery and fasten with carved shell buttons. The skirt is very full and gathered into the waistband. The dress is in good condition for its age. The fabric is very fresh and clean with minimal staining. There is a few spots stains and small holes. There are some old darn mends on the sleeves near the under arms. Overall this a a truly perfect example of 1830s dress.
