Here is a gorgeous antique handmade French crochet lace collar dress insert trim with a very intricately designed pattern that features a flower and leaf motif. Circa 1900's.

I believe that this antique handmade French crochet lace collar dress insert trim was fashioned to sit above the dress bodice and go down the sides and meet at the back of the waist.

This antique handmade French crochet lace collar dress insert trim would be lovely to incorporate into a wedding dress or a special sewing costume project.

Antique Handmade French Crochet Lace Collar Dress Insert Trim Measurement:

This French handmade crochet lace collar measures approximately 15" straight across the top (see photo).

It is 6 2/8" deep at the center point (see photo).

The 2 side pieces of the antique lace collar are 17 1/2" in length approx (see photo).

2 small bottom pieces are 5 1/2" approx. across.

The width is 1 7/8" approx.

Color: dark cream however with washing it should lighten a little.

Antique Handmade French Crochet Lace Collar Dress Insert Trim Condition: I saw several small mends that are needed to repair broken bits in the crochet lace work. Some of this may have occurred when it was removed from the wedding dress as they are at the edges. Also, there is age storage discoloration and it will require washing. A brown spot on one of the flowers.

Some lace edges are folded over however with washing and pressing these will lie flat. I will leave the repairs and washing for to the buyer to complete.
