Curator Carla de Jonge's close commitment to the organisation of the Costumes of our Ancestors exhibition in 1936 enabled her to see the possibility of expanding the museum's collection after the exhibition series had finished. This dress with Irish crochet was donated at de Jonge's request in 1937. The dress still appeals to the imagination today and shows perfectly how fashion repeats itself. Just as it was more than 100 years ago, white is popular in the summer of 2017 and lace is once again in fashion on the catwalk and in the shops.
