1930's Crocheted Lace Dress | Fashion Anatomy

You call them "popcorns", the bubbles in the pattern of the skirt. And it also has Irish crochet on the bottom. This 2-pieces-dress is absolutely stunning ❤ Thank you for showing it! I would love to see it on a person.

Hello, Clauselmilord! Thank you for commenting. I am so happy to hear someone say this. Being a human is so magical when you think we have created SO much out of the natural things we see around us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Happy Sewing!

thank you for sharing such a beautiful work. You are so right, it must have taken so much time and patience to make such a piece and how fortunate was the one who got to wear it.

Thank you, Sally, for this treat! I was thinking the dress could be from Ireland. In knitting those little things are bobbles or nupps. I'm thinking Ireland because they are so patient; the cost charged for the dress might be spare change for a well-off buyer.

Hi, MimiRouth! Again, Ireland! This is fun to hear! I love that the little bobbles or nupps are named that. Thank you so much for writing. So glad you enjoyed this! Happy Sewing - or crocheting(?)!

It is beautiful! I agree that it was probably made in Ireland. Going by how long it used to take my grandmother to crochet things, I would guess about 4 to 6 months crotcheting all day. Thanks for showing us.

[@SewWithSally]

Dear Annette, Thank you SO much for telling me about your grandmother and how long this might have taken. I LOVE that so far two people agree it is most likely from Ireland. Happy Sewing!

I love this. Perhaps it was someone's wedding dress. I have a very similar garment, just the blouse. The stand up collar on mine is wired with fine white coated wire.❤❤

Dear Maryleeswope3353, Thank you so much for telling me this! Wire makes perfect sense! If there was wire, it may have deteriorated over time and was removed. This is a perfect answer to my question! Thank you again!
