Rare and quite delicate Edwardian era step-in onesie. The tank bodice has very fine lace trim, original shell buttons and open “ladder” detail at the waist for adding a ribbon tie. The culottes are incredible – super wide flare with reinforced paneling on the crotch and pointed handkerchief hemline. Great piece for some funky layering and styling stories. No labels, circa late 1800s.
