I'm afraid that the best images I know of are in a book:- "Royal Honiton Lace" by Elsie Luxton and Yusai Fukuyama; Batsford, London, 1988, ISBN 0 7134 5764 3. The authors were given permission by the Queen to publish photogrtaphs from the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle - so the images are not likely to be freely available on the web, I fear. Also good images in Kay Staniland's "In Royal Fashion," but again, those images won't be available for use. In that book, we learn that the Honiton lace flounce was removed from the wedding dress and re-used on later garments. Evidently the flounce does still exist as a flat textile. (She also wore her veil again much later--it is shown in an 1893 photograph.) Sorry, Penny, I know that isn't exactly what you asked, but I hadn't looked at the book in awhile and had a good time finding these things.
