I think the lace is machine made. The hat is covered with the same lace, and the hat rose is made of it. I think this was a lace fabric with the edge made of large scallops. The cuffs and collar are cleverly shaped of the scalloped part, and the bulk of the lace fabric was used on the hat. Look closely at the two pictures, 14 and 15, but especially at 15 for the collar. It looks like a neat seam between the second and third scallops, to curve the fabric around the neck. The queen's seamstresses are very clever and skillful with the needle.
