About this work

Skirt of a dress with tambour work on machine-made tulle, entirely natural-coloured. The skirt has a conical shape, made of strips of machine-made tulle, on which a repeating pattern is outlined of long, standing and wavy stems with roses, rose hips and leaves. The stems end at the bottom, at about two-thirds of the skirt length, with a large overhanging rose. The pattern at the bottom of the skirt consists of similar stems, but these are short and angled. A continuous vine with daisies forms the wavy scalloped edge below. The very narrow hem at the top edge of the skirt is partly detached.
