I came upon the following article:
This is from the Lloydminster Times, 22 September 1910:

A Lace Revival.
This is distincly a season of lace and lacey effects. Besides the drapings of chiffon and all kinds of veilings, tunics and overblouses are being made of rare old Spanish and Chantilly lace both in black and cream color.
The all-lace coat is more fashionable in thinner laces than in Irish which was so much used last year.
Maline lace holds first place in popularity. Tiny edges of this lace are used on turn-down collars of embroiderd lawn and to edge plaited and gathered frills for blouses. An odd fancy is to show little frills of Maline on the inner hems of silk coats, and deeper ruffles of it edged lingerie hats.
Charming lingerie hats of mob shape are made entirely of all-over laces with a frill of narrow lace to match. They rest well down on the face and have no other trimming than a big bow of ribbon or a single big flower.
Irish lace is used more this season for plain linen and cotton blouses and the narrow edging is preferred. There are always women who will wear all-over lace, but the tiny effects are in better style. These are especially good on ties and rabats, and trimming the narrow boxed plaits of thin tailored shirtwaists.
German Valenciennes is better liked for underwear than for frocks this summer, thought it is one of those laces that never goes out of style.

So, if you're making a dress of that period.....
