<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4334555, member: 13464&quot;]Hi Charlie!</p><p>Tis the season of the witch! It does indeed look like it is floating! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>What a charming set!</p><p>Yes, [USER=738]@Darkwing Manor[/USER] is correct! It is machine made lace. Kudo&#039;s Darkwing! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Very pleasing and very interesting design (with those little insets that look like Chinese characters!) and it looks like it may have some synthetic fiber in it as it picks up a bit of sparkle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, probably a baby&#039;s christening or baptismal gown. By the sheen on the dress fabric and the sheerness... is it silk? I &quot;feel&quot; like it is...</p><p><br /></p><p>The puff sleeves and sparkle in the lace lead me to believe it is circa 1950&#039;s. Earlier christening/ baptismal gowns, even if they were short sleeve, tended to be &quot;straight&quot; and not puffy. Mother of Pearl buttons ? If so, the gown &quot;may&quot; be a bit older....plastic, definitely 1950&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the shawl item: also machine and it also has a sheen on the embroidery - so probably has some synthetic fiber - rayon perhaps. The netting looks to be cotton?</p><p><br /></p><p>You don&#039;t give the measurements; but, it seems a little small for a bridal veil or adult bridal veil and a little large for a Sunday morning church service head cover... perhaps it was a child&#039;s confirmation veil. I don&#039;t feel like it went with the gown; although someone may have used it with it.&nbsp; Also circa 1950.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, there is my 2 cents!</p><p>Enjoy it... great pieces!</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
