The Christie’s Dress

Three years ago I purchased this gorgeous blue linen dress from an auction at Christie’s in London. I have loved sharing this dress at fashion shows around the world.

There is magnificent white on white padded satin stitch embroidery as well as Irish crocheted pieces in the half moons on the dress. The sleeve details are glorious as well as the bodice. Just enjoy looking at the incredible embroidery all over this dress.

It has a train so I envision this being circa 1880.
