Handmade Skirt-Rare 1870s Linen and Hand Done Filet Crochet Trim
This skirt is made from a piece of antique fabric from a trunk I acquired with fabrics from the 1870s to 1930s. It was in one piece with a raw top, so I think it was from a Victorian era pillow case and maybe the top had fallen into disrepair so this piece was saved. The crochet it all hand done so I would say this is 1879s-1890s and I would say this is a very light weight fabric.
