[lace] Lace Identification Booklet Hapsburg veil

[Karen Thompson]

Susan, and all
The wedding photo of Marjorie Merriweather Post's daughter Adelaide
Brevoort Close (1908-1998) was taken at the Hillwood estate in
Washington, DC. although her wedding to Thomas Tim Welles Durant on
January 19, 1927 took place in New York City. Adelaide wore a short
dress with a long train, so the only place the veil was not supported
was on her head, where it was fastened with orange blossoms at the
sides of the head. The Hillwood exhibition features a short silent
movie taken at the wedding, so we can really see how the veil was
used. --- It is amazing how well the veil survived both that and the
original fastening with a diamond brooch at Princess Stephanie's
wedding. There are small tears, but nothing very serious. So far, we
have not seen a close-up wedding photo that shows the veil at Princess
Stephanie's wedding in 1881.


The photo of MM Post's daughter wearing the veil in 1927 makes me wonder if 
the picture was taken at Mar-A-Lago, her former Palm Beach home now owned by 
The Donald?

[lace] Lace Identification Booklet Hapsburg veil

Hello All!  Thank you Linda for posting the link to this article.  I'll admit 
to drooling over the Lanvin sleeve detail on my way to downloading the booklet 
for reading later.  Thanks Karen for posting the veil link--what a fabulous 
piece!  The 88x102 stitches/rows per inch scale is almost beyond comprehension. 
 The photo of MM Post's daughter wearing the veil in 1927 makes me wonder if 
the picture was taken at Mar-A-Lago, her former Palm Beach home now owned by 
The Donald?  In today's news, the Corcoran is going to receive one of the Monet 
*waterlily* paintings from the Clark estate.  Wouldn't it be grand if it was up 
on the wall by the end of the year?  That would make a really fine trip to 
DC--the veil  Monet in one visit.  M.  Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA, 
USA with another 6 of rain today.  Enough already!
