Posy Embroidered Nightdress

White cotton sleeveless nightdress with yellow floral embroidery on front bodice echoing designs by Sarah Bland (1810-1905) held in the Victoria and Albert Museum. In late Victorian domestic textiles, floral motifs adorned garments and household linens. Embroidery was a favoured pastime among women, encouraged by pattern books and exhibitions at institutions such as the South Kensington Museum. The posy design reflects the era's fascination with botanical imagery and the belief that beauty should permeate daily life. In a relaxed-fit, pull-on style dress with a square neckline and frill detailing from shoulder to waist, finished with a tiered hem, inserted lace panels, and pintucking details. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE.
