*BEAUTIFUL HAND CROCHETED AND EMBROIDERED SOUTHERN BELLE WITH HUGE PINK SKIRT AND BLUE BIRDS PILLOW CASES - 1 PAIR - NEW & NEVER USED

These pillow cases are one of prettiest sets that I have ever seen!  Recently I was fortunate enough to come across a number of beautiful pillow cases and will be putting them on my site in the near future.

My mother and grandmother crocheted as well as embroidered decades ago and I know that this handwork of crocheting and embroidering takes quite a bit of time to do.  People just do not do this hand work any more and it is difficult to find pillow cases this beautiful and in such great condition. These vintage pillow cases are from an era when people did this detailed type of work and life was a lot slower and not so hectic. 

The standard size pillow cases which are out of very white 100% Egyptian Cotton long staple cotton and they measure approximately 20" x 30" not including the pink crocheted lace hem which would add more. There is a flap inside the pillow case opening which will go over the pillow so the pillow will not be seen. There is pink crocheting on the back side as well.

The Southern Bell has been beautifully embroidered with a picture hat to protect her fair complexion.  She is wearing a beautiful full gown in pink and she is holding a bouquet of flowers. There are embroidered flowers with French knots on them which are behind a garden fence with grass in front.  There are 2 lovely blue birds in the sky behind here.

Her skirt is one of the widest one I have ever seen and it has huge medallions on the hemline  From her waist to the end of the skirt is nearly 9" and the top to bottom measures 5-/4" vertically and approximately 14-1/2"" across the widest part of the skirt.

The former owner said the pillow cases have never been used and they new.  The pillow cases will come to you freshly laundered, lightly starched and ironed and it is ready for you to put on your bed.  They are in excellent condition since they have never been used and just gorgeous.

These vintage heirloom hand crocheted and embroidered pillow cases would make a guest room look beautiful, be perfect as a wedding present for a bride who loves vintage linens, a housewarming gift or create a shabby chic look to a bedroom.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
