When combined with black tulle in a gown, black
Chantilly lace makes a dramatic statement, since this
beautiful lace is associated with romance and mystery.
This is the sort of grand gown that you would have worn
if you had been a member of the elite New York society
depicted by Edith Wharton in 'The House of Mirth' (1905)

dear mette,
wouldn't it be lovely to wear this gorgeous creation with a huge, wide-brimmed hat to a soiree or tea party or dance? my imagination takes over about this gown and the lady who wore it, where she lived, her family and the servant who took care of it for her. what stories this gown could tell.
It would be so wonderful! I had the same thoughts; who owned such a beautiful grown? She must have been breathtakingly beautiful in it!
