I had some lace that my father brought home from Belgium & France after WWII
that was probably the same color as yours. I wanted to use it on my wedding
gown (Edwardian style). We went into New York and scoured the garment
district, thinking an off-white/cream/candlelight silk would be perfect.
All of those were hideous! What was absolutely gorgeous was a pale pink
(rather unheard for a wedding dress in 1982 where I was). We washed the
lace in the stuff they use to wash horses -- starts with a 'c', can't think
of the name.

I think you mean "Orvus". It's also sold in quilt shops for washing
antique quilts. It's pure sodium laurel sulfate; no additives of any sort.
