They sell discount venise/venice bridal lace yardage and appliques,
yokes, etc. You're not looking at total historic authenticity here, but
the selection is large and some of the prices are pretty good in
comparison to other sources. They have a lot of black laces, otherwise
the laces are mostly white, ivory, and some slightly strange metallics.
Most of the laces are rayon, some are cotton. You can dye them to take
off the bridal effect. I saw someone's dyed rayon lace yardage and it
looked fine. I just bought some to dye but have not done it yet;
however, Procion dyes work well on rayon in my previous experience.
