Skirt and top
1960
France
By maker unknown
‘Poison or apple green’ dyed machine crocheted cotton net lace, lined with a matching green viscose lining on both the skirt and top; cotton organdie white collar and bow; plastic zipper up back of skirt. Contrasting white opaque plastic buttons and loop closure down front of top. Fully lined. Elbow length sleeves.

Interesting to note that the crocheted lace is made in ribbon strips which have then been sewn together to make a width wide enough to become fabric. Very labour intensive.
