This lace gown was recently installed in the Urge to Embellish exhibition at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield. This gown of handmade ivory lace and its matching parasol cover (also included in this exhibition) were likely created by more than a single lace-maker. It may have taken two years and as many as twenty makers to complete this ensemble. This piece was given to the Museum by Colonel Leon Mandel and the Chicago Historical Society. The staff installing the piece are Jim Zimmer, Director of ISM Lockport Gallery; Irene Boyer, Registrar for Decorative Arts; and Angela Goebel-Bain, Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts. The Urge to Embellish will be exhibited through October 2, 2011.
