Friday Photo Swoon – Wrap My Love in Lace

In anticipation of this weekend, I'm sharing with you some overwhelmingly romantic images of lace adorned ladies. I purchased my very first vintage lace dress, which you will see on this Sunday's Snag, and I've been searching the web for examples of lace in eras past. It is not difficult to find them. Lace has been a staple of femininity (and masculinity at times!) for many many years now. Some of my very favorites are shown during the 1920s. They have such a lazy seductive quality, like being draped in head to toe lace is just another Friday afternoon for them. The sheer amount of hand work that would have gone into many of these fabrics is mind boggling! Every time I see lace pieces that have lasted from the Edwardian period, my heart melts and I can't believe anything so delicate stood the test of so many decades.

Do you wear lace? How do you use it in your wardrobe?
