Dear Lacemakers, just this afternoon I saw a display of lacy garters in a lingerie shop, and one of them was so unusual that I want to tell you all about it.
Instead of being gathered and frilled, it was a smooth strip, so I suppose it fastened with a velcro spot, or some such. This strip was placed just above the knee, and was the support for a fringe of narrower strips of lace, about six inches long, which hung down like a string skirt, (or very sparse hula skirt, perhaps). With the leg slightly bent, the knee peeps through, shy but provocative. I've never seen a garter like it before. It would be appropriate for a bride wearing a dress with one of those smooth, elegant, narrow skirts which seem to have superseded the netting meringues and ice-cream cones of my day. Well, there you are. Now I'll just leave it to you clever designers to develop suitable patterns! Best wishes from Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K.). - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
