You've got to wonder if these same people would knock down a 200 year old house to build a mega mansion rather than try to fix the old place up.

Take it apart to make a pattern ... ok, *maybe*. But it looks so fragile I wouldn't want to do that. There is a lot that can be learned from an old piece like this even if it is in sad condition.<br />-Emily<br /><br />Emily's Vintage Visionsvintagevisions27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16769861744181538664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-73795323517236790252014-01-13T22:03:18.746-05:002014-01-13T22:03:18.746-05:00I would at least hope it ended up with a lady or g...I would at least hope it ended up with a lady or gentleman who has their own private collection and won't destroy the garment. *fingers crossed*Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-38538806105576604122014-01-13T22:00:22.523-05:002014-01-13T22:00:22.523-05:00Unfortunately its ended up in a place where it wil...Unfortunately its ended up in a place where it will likely end up in bits and parts for "study" by a non professional. Its a shame that it has not ended up in a museum or a place where it can be professionally restored to its previous stunning beauty, like when it just stepped out of the dress maker. E.
