Edwardian Embroidered Floral Tunic

White cotton tunic with multicoloured floral embroidery inspired by motifs in ‘A Treatise on Embroidery’ published in 1907. The embroidery draws on early 20th-century instructional pattern books, which promoted needlework as both an accomplishment and a creative outlet. Edwardian embroidery favoured lightness, colour, and naturalistic motifs. Floral decoration was often used to soften simple white garments and such designs balanced elegance with everyday practicality. Designed in a relaxed fit with a scoop neck and ¾-length sleeves, and a mother-of-pearl button fastening that runs the full length. Finished with delicate pintucking details on the patch pockets for an elegant touch.

Made exclusively for Museum Selection.
