Stunning and elaborate 1910-12 ball gown. This incredible gown is heavily embellished with wide black textured embroidered lace, long rope type looped tassels that flow down the left side. Groups of 3 each fabric balls dangle on the edges of the elbow length sleeves and are repeated on the lower right side of skirt. The hemline is fur. The sheer black silk top layer reveals layered cream satin, pink floral French silk ribbon and irish? lace underneath. The floral ribbon is also seen on the sleeves beneath the black sheer silk.
The sides of the top layer of the dress have diagonal velvet stripes and ruching below waist. The textured embroidered black lace at yoke extends over the shoulders and covers the back to waistline. This lace in back is magnificent and is attached to black satin and forms a long panel train. It is loosely attached to the back of the gown so that it flows freely. The long panel  is squared at the end of it. Button closures are concealed beneath this panel. The panel train is 72" length, about 10" longer than the gown.
The cream lace at the lower area is from knee length to hemline and has the black fur attached to it .This is a nice size gown, up to 40" bust, 30" waist, 17" across shoulders. It is difficult to describe the beauty of the workmanship, there are so many layers of fabric and embellishments.The condition appears very good. It possibly has had some old minor repairs, difficult to know for sure.
The cream satin lining appears to be stable, although not perfect. Some fraying of the satin around the button closures in back.
It is a work of art, for sure. It has been in my collection for about 20 years.

Unique long sleeve full length tea gown is a great size. 38" bust, 28" waist, 14" across shoulders and 55" long.The V neck bodice has a lace collar that extends across shoulders in back.

The cuffs of the long sleeves have peach ribbon and wide lace that is pointed on the hands.
The bodice has snaps, also at waist and on left side of the skirt. The skirt is softly gathered and so detailed! The lower area has 3 wide tucks, the bottom 2 with lace trimmed edges. There are 6 areas of 9 each corded buttons decorating the edges of the tucks. Between these button embellishments is seen 4 areas of the most beautiful wide lace that matches that of the collar and the bolero. This is a beautiful gown and the semi-sheer fabric appears to be in very good condition. There is a 1" old mend on the back of the skirt just above the first tuck on right side in back that I don't think would be noticeable when worn due to the gathers in the skirt. Very clean and white.

Incredibly lovely cape or mantle loaded with dangling jet beading everywhere High neck, entirely beaded, fancy designs all over.
Two long front panels below waist length with beaded trim that goes upward to sleeves and then falls down in points over the
sleeves with beads outlining the fringes. The bustle back embellished with more fringe and lace. Lace cascades down the front between the front panels. This has been in my collection for years and is in extra good condition for beaded capes of this era.
I haven't seen a nicer or more elegant one. It looks perfect paired with the mauve brocade and beaded skirt , but is not original
with  it and is sold separately. The beadwork appears intact,but the silk lining is almost gone. Would fit several sizes.
