Vintage Candlelight Lace Tablecloth Solstice Top ~ Size M
Vintage Candlelight Lace Tablecloth Solstice Top ~ Size M
**This top is one-of-a-kind. Size M (measurements below). Made from a vintage lace tablecloth.**
This top 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 could have a small percentage of 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. The color is "candlelight" or dark ecru.
Made to last, with French seams & reinforced stitching. Arm holes are bound with lightweight cotton muslin. I recommend hand washing & line drying this piece. Can be ironed on lowest setting if necessary.
I left the original "Quaker Lace" tag attached at the back hem. It can be removed though if you prefer.
Easy-to-wear shape flatters a variety of body types. Please note, this top is cut very low at the arm holes. For more coverage, it can be layered over bra, tank, or cami.
This piece is made from a vintage tablecloth. Minor imperfections are to be expected & are part of the charm. Anything major will be noted.
In an effort to use of every last bit of the fabric, this top was cut from the "scraps" of a tablecloth, left over after cutting out a dress. The straps were cut from a second tablecloth. They were both the same color according to the manufacturer's tags, however, they aren't an exact match. They're quite close. I'm very particular about color matching & this is within my level of tolerance, but I wanted to mention it in the interest of full disclosure. Priced slightly lower to account for this quirk.
This top is a size M. The fit is very forgiving and somewhat adjustable, but please see below for exact garment measurements.
