Exceptional MUSEUM QUALITY antique Civil War Era off white IRISH crochet lace 2 piece Wedding Bridal gown~dress. It is made of an off white cotton features hand made Irish crochet lace with raised three dimensional flower, leaf designs, connecting thread picot ornamented bars, dimensional flower trim accents, hand stitched to the lace on the skirt and blouse are what appears to be linen hand embroidered horse shoes (for luck), and I could be mistaken but some of the edge trim also appears to be in the shape of a horse shoe. This beautiful dress is 2 pieces. The skirt is a very full floor length bustle style, closes in the back with eye hook closures. Interior is lined with matching silk and hand stitched hoops to help with the fullness (the silk lining in the skirt is shattered and is deteriorating needs to be replaced), very minor fix. The blouse is darling....features capped off the shoulder split sleeves, closes with eye hook closures, fully lined with matching silk. May have been made in IRELAND-the United States or even France (not certain). Was made in the mid to late 1800s. It is EXCELLENT condition for its age, there may be an occasional scraggly thread or a small faint storage spot (as shown-this was the most noticeable one I could find), I have carefully examined and could not find any broken brides (if there are any it is very few). There is no wear or breakdown of the lace fabric, just needs to be carefully cleaned and I would replace the lining on the skirt. This has been carefully preserved and wrapped in acid free blue tissue........this is how you will receive it.
Excellent wearable displayable condition! This is truly an exquisite piece of antique wearable art! The photos just do not capture the true beauty of this piece.
