<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2486339, member: 13464&quot;]Hi [USER=65]@trip98[/USER] </p><p>Oh, goodie goodie! Another lace junkie!&nbsp; LOL... I hadn&#039;t thought of myself as such!&nbsp; LOL... it fits!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, down to business!&nbsp; </p><p>#1 - I &quot;adore&quot; that collar!&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen pieces constructed like this before - including a wedding dress I once owned. It was from the 50&#039;s... your collar is older. Probably 1st half of the 1900&#039;s. The wedding gown had little bits of cotton stuffed under the flower petals to give them dimension...and I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if they daubed a bit of perfume on the cotton either!&nbsp; FUN piece!</p><p><br /></p><p>#2 - Probably crochet... not 100% = as the pic is slightly blurry from my end. Hand done; very pretty pattern!</p><p><br /></p><p>#3 - 99% certain it is machine Bruges... again; the pic is slightly blurry from my end. It is very nice! What is the design? Applique? Lappet?</p><p><br /></p><p>#4 - I&#039;m REALLY pumped about this one. I definitely need a better close up; front AND back if you would. And perhaps a long shot of the entire piece - as flat as possible? What are the snaps for?&nbsp; Is it a collar? It &quot;looks hand&quot;...and it looks unusual!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; EVIL grin!</p><p><br /></p><p>#5 - This one is pretty simple - even blurry! It is machine tape, appliqued on machine netting; with hand fagoting. Probably a Princess style tape lace. 1900&#039;s</p><p><br /></p><p>#6 - Again - easy enough - even blurry. This one is a machine lace with a Bruges flair. Around the 30&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>#7 - Definitely darned net. I can&#039;t say for sure if it is hand done - sorry - blurry again. It would be unusual to have those raised leaves on machine; however, it is equally unusual to find that sort of placement of them. I&#039;d have to see a clear close up to tell you one way or another. It looks circa 1910 to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all I can tell you with pics you provided.&nbsp; Glad to make more comments on better pics or new posts!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheerio,</p><p>Leslie</p><p>PS. probably not the best idea to keep in plastic bags - even the clear plastic tote is better than the bags.&nbsp; Invest in some acid free tissue (or even plain white tissue) for the pieces you wish to keep.&nbsp; Store in a cool, dry, non sun-shiney location...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
