About this work

Hat veil of natural-colored machine tulle with natural-colored lace embroidery along the edges: tulle cutwork. Square model with slightly scalloped edges. Along the bottom of the veil stands a row of seven identical thin C-shaped branches, which on both sides are set with oval flowers on a short stem and with a border of petals along the upper half. A larger flower originates at the bottom of the branch and stands centrally in the C. Along all sides runs a border with always one oval flower in a scallop. In the flower hearts decorative grounds are applied. The upper edge is folded over and fixed, this hem is as wide as the border pattern with the oval flowers.
