Divine Vintage Quaker Lace Tablecloth Dress ~ S/M

This dress is made from a vintage Quaker Lace Co. tablecloth. The fabric is medium weight (heavy for lace) with a subtle sheen & a beautiful drape. I believe the content to be a cotton/rayon blend, however, it may have some polyester in it also. The company started adding poly to their lace in the 1960's or 70's, but in such a small amount that it can be hard to tell just by feel. Either way, it's an absolutely gorgeous fabric - molding to the contours of the body, without being clingy. Scalloped edging with picot trim.

Made to last, with French seams & reinforced stitching. Arm holes are bound with 100% silk fabric.

Easy-to-wear shape flatters a variety of body types. Please note, this dress is cut very low at the arm holes & is made from lace. It is unlined & doesn't have pockets. I can envision lots of fabulous layering options for this one - over a vintage slip for an elegant, dressed up look - with tights & a t-shirt for a more casual vibe - or even over a swimsuit as an absolutely divine cover-up. 

I recommend hand washing & line drying this piece but it can be machine washed if preferred (cold water, delicate cycle only). Can be ironed on lowest setting if necessary.

This piece is made from a vintage tablecloth. Minor imperfections are to be expected & are part of the charm. Anything major will be noted.

This dress is a size S but fits more like a Small/Medium because the fabric has a bit of stretch. The fit is very forgiving and somewhat adjustable, but please see below for exact garment measurements.
