Irish crochet lace jacket, 1930s
The stylish lace jacket epitomizes the refinement and elegance of the best Irish lace. It has the attributes favored by serious collectors: unusual large medallions in the lace pattern and a pleasing arrangement of the motifs.
The jacket features an inventive assortment of motifs on the collar and center-front opening as well as three dimensional roses throughout. I love the scalloped hem border. This versatile example of textile art can be worn open as a jacket or worn closed as a blouse. Wear it for the evening or with your jeans.
Handmade Irish lace garments do not have unsightly seams. The shape of the garment is built-in by hand during assembly of the individual motifs. Irish crochet is also durable.
Fashioned from ivory cotton yarn, the jacket is washable. It closes in front with crocheted ball buttons.
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
It measures: 36" bust, 29" waist, 36" hem border circumference, and 20" from the shoulder to the hem.
