The Mistral Dress is a beautiful example of late 19th to early 20th-century French craftsmanship. Hand picked in Paris, this one-of-a-kind piece was likely made between 1880–1920, when simple chemises like this were essential parts of a woman’s trousseau.
Crafted from 100% medium-weight cotton, it features a soft, natural drape and a charming scalloped neckline finished by hand. A tiny red monogram, “AB,” decorates the front, an endearing detail once used to identify garments during communal laundering. The short sleeves and clean lines evoke the quiet elegance of another era.
Perfect worn as a summer dress, a layering piece, or displayed as a textile treasure, this chemise is a true testament to French heritage and the enduring beauty of simplicity.
