<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pentiques, post: 3505, member: 171&quot;]I came back to look again.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the shawl is&nbsp; silk, I think a blend but not sure.&nbsp; The Fringe is sewn on.&nbsp; Yes call it shawl, scarf, piano scarf.&nbsp; Not sure of age maybe 20s-30s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the&nbsp; white lace was a dress at one time and someone cut it apart.&nbsp; The waist band on the skirt is not original and of course the bottom of the blouse is unfinished.&nbsp; I think the white lace is about 1910.&nbsp; May have had a full length silk under dress or slip.&nbsp; But I think both pieces have been altered.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot tell about the black but I believe that has been cut down.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can determine whether the lace is cotton or not that would help.&nbsp; Try doing a burn test, cotton burns, rayon, nylon, melts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though the lace items have been cut down someone will buy them to use the lace to make something else.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Rivets will have some thoughts about the shawl and lace items.&nbsp;&nbsp; So wait for more info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
