Top irish lace

Un top, gen ilic, crosetat in dantela irish lace, cu insertii tatted.

Dantela irlandeza, freeform si completari cu dantela pe ac. Se inchide in fata cu 4 perechi de mos-si-baba. Marime xxxl (bust 108cm). In schita il concepusem cu ciucuri, dar daca ma gandesc mai bine, ar fi perfect cu un voal sau un satin, drept top de rochie, captusit la cupe. Iese o rochie de seara gen baby-doll, empire. (Imi place enorm "Mandrie si prejudecata" de Jane Austen, asa-i! :D)

Acest tablou, Portrait of a lady by Henri François Mulard, C. 1810, este pur si simplu minunat!

A bolero-like top, crocheted as Irish lace, with needletatted insertions.

Irish lace, freeform and needletatted lace. It closes in front with 4 pairs of hidden "father and mother" elements. Size XXXL (bust line 108 cm). In the drawing I made it with tassels, but if I think again it will work better with a veil dress/long skirt or satin, as a top for a dress, with satin under cups. It will look like a baby doll dress, or like a regency, empire dress inspired. (I love "Pride and prejudice" by Jane Austen, true! :D)

This painting, Portrait of a lady by Henri François Mulard, C. 1810, is just wonderful!
