Pretties! Reminds me, I really *should* take more pictures of my extant gowns this weekend. I have a pretty Edwardian that isn't in the best condition because of the pink silk net overlayer but the underlayer of satin silk is still beautiful and the embroidery is gorgeous.

I want the Irish Crochet Tea Gown. Really. Now to go find one that isn't $$$$ and in good condition...maybe that will be my next big hunt...

I really want and Irish lace tea gown, too, but I want to make one. Unfortunately, that would mostly be original research, since I can't find anything on method, past doilies that use some of the motifs. Also, it would probably take me like 2 years to get everything made, and then another six billion to crochet it all together.
