Hi
I have not seen many real mens shirt on displays and things, so my knolledge
i know is from studying portraits.
Most of the lace i have seen used, has ben white lace, that has the same
colour as the white linen. A Blonde Lace was .........well blonde in colour,
and i think it is rarely used for mens shirts. I have read somewhere, that
Blonde Lace was Marie Antoinettes favourite lace, but i think it was used
for trimmings on dresses..............

This is for anyone18c and lace oriented folks, but I'm addressing it to
Bjarne as he is most familiar with the high style
Has anyone seen blonde used on men's 18c shirts. I'm talking about the
silk lace, very fine and beautiful, sometimes in an off white color. The
exhibit I was at at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC had a late-ish 1700s
black velvet mens suit and they had it displayed with some reproduction
blonde frills/ruffles at the wrists and neck. I would have gone with a
very fine white linnen myself (that $40+ a yard stuff that I can't find
here in North Carolina)
18c Mia in Charlottetown, NC, getting ready to go to a Back-county
Carolinas Christmas. I'm Mrs. Judge Irwin, and will be helping him
politic at the bonfire. (Think guns shooting, whisky and general
noisemaking) I might try to do my hair 'a la mouton" this year, when one
is ajudges wife, one leads the fashions.
