I thought it was an apron?!

Kathy and I went to an estate sale last week and we found a pile of linens..


I threw this in the pile thinking it was a lace apron.




It just didn't look right.
Then I saw the sleeve.



It's a dress!
An old lace dress!

In very good condition.  I can only find one small whole on the back of the neck line.


I can't imagine wearing it, it's seems so delicate but it has held up pretty good.

I washed it once but I think I will soak it and try to get these stains out.
I think it's lovely.
What a surprise!
Happy Friday!

Sue, what an unexpected find! I love it, and can totally see you wearing this. With a vintage slip beneath, of course. Miss you guys! Can we please do something fun in June? Is that when life returns to normal? It is, right? Ann
