These bedazzling garments, known as "Tulle Embroidery," were first produced around the turn of the 19th century and became popular during the roaring twenties, as a nod to Egyptian fashion.

The first has a two inch tear to one of the horses. The second has a few minor tears or snags, the largest being .5 in. The third shawl is extremely fragile and has several areas of separation and a 1 x 2 in. missing area close to the central diamond.
