So pretty is this vintage lady's day dust cap with embroidery on net with rows and rows of Paris lace. Pongee shrimp ribbon goes around the crown and ties at the back bottom. Measures 20" around opening. NO damage, in 'as found', unwashed condition.

From Me:

So. You might have noticed I combined two auctions in this one. Both items were sold by the same seller and were clearly owned by the same woman when they were new. The lace and silk are the same on both, only the design of the unmentionables is different -probably one for daywear and one for eveningwear. I don't understand why the seller split them up because they would be a wonderful set to have together.
