> Can anyone help me identify what type of lace is on a bodice circa > 1900-1906? You can view a photo enlargement of the lace at: http://www.costumegallery.com/temp/1900beigebodicelace.jpg
I'm not a lace expert, but I do have a Lace Dictionary published in 1913. I went through the whole book, and the closest I could match it to was Crochet Lace, also known as Irish Lace, raised Rose point, Point de Trico or Honiton crochet "to indicate the character of the design more than the technique." There is more to the entry if anyone is interested. There is a photo of the crochet lace at: http://www.mantua-maker.com/id24.html (or, if my sitebuilder gets repaired, at: http://www.mantua-maker.com/crochet_lace_photo.html) Click on the photo for a larger view. If anybody has a better guess, I'll look up the entry and post it, too.
