Vintage Handmade Crochet Gown

Some treasures are meant to be found exactly as they are.

Tucked among the reference lace collection inherited from French author Janine Montupet, whose novel The Lacemaker celebrates the delicate world of lace, was this vintage crochet wedding gown. Open work crochet long sleeve maxi dress with an intricate geometric diamon lace pattern. Preserved in its folded state, it felt like a discovery from another time, a piece of history waiting to be found again.

Left untouched, the floor-length dress carries the beauty of its original making, with an open crochet construction that reveals the skin beneath. A rare find, included in La Lagunilla for the story it holds and the unexpected places beauty can lead us.
