Comments: In over 25 years in business,
this is the first Irish crochet wedding gown and matching coat I have
ever seen. The lace work is of extraordinary quality. Many of the
intricately designed floral motifs on the gown are three dimensional or
padded; there are oval crochet balls dripping everywhere! The sides of
the gown and main body of the coat are made up of a dense crochet worked
in a lattice pattern with raised roses in every corner. The gown's
center and back panels, deep hem, sleeves and train are worked in a much
more complex and heavier floral crochet interspersed with meandering
vines. This same pattern is repeated around the edge of the coat.
Heirloom quality; this is a breathtaking, one of a kind wedding
ensemble.
