Walking Ensemble, Hole Lace, ca. 1907 #antikeschuhe Crafted from brown and greenTwo piece walking ensemble, ca. 1907. Both parts blouse and skirt have beautiful hole lace embroideries. The blouse is made of linen, the skirt of cotton. The ensemble is very well preserved. The skirt has a stain and on the back side some rusty hooks and eyelets. It must have been washed a long time ago. The bow tie and the high stand up collar are part of the ensemble, but the belt and jewellery are not. Still wearable today. Blouse: Waist: 67 cm
