Comments

Beautiful embroidery. I also have several single sleeve ruffles. If these are of any use to you please contact me.

Condition

As you will see from the measurements the second ruffle is fractionally shorter in length by 1 in. 3 cm ,although the width is the same. There is damage to the top length and a V piece of damage to the ruffle's left hand end. A little damage to two places just above the central flowers. The second ruffle has a great tear 1 1/2 in; 6 cm long to the left hand top edge plus a little war tro extreme left hand side. There is further hole which should be visible. There is a a very visible hole to centre bottom, just above embroidered flowers. I can always send you close up photos of any damage.
