This beautiful 1890 Bertha-Collar gown is entirely handmade of ivory silk shantung and features an exquisite antique rosepoint Bertha collar which rests over the entire bodice and shoulders and closes in back with tiny crochet buttons.

The close fitting sleeves are finished with deep cuffs of delicate antique lace. A silk cummerbund sets off the waistline.

The skirt skims the body and a long panel of antique lace adorns the front and a lovely godet in back is edged with antique battenburg lace.
