Hi everybody:
Many thanks to those who responded to my lace question. I am thinking
that a fine point lace, sparely decorated, would be a good idea, and
I've picked out "Empire II" from Inge Wind Skovgaard's
"Toenderkniplinger I (Akacia)".
After all our recent postings on naming the centuries, I think this is
from the right time period, but I just want to check: this is in the
section "Empiremoenstre" which starts out with "I begyndelsen af
1800-tallet blev der kniplet ..." - do the first few words of this
sentence mean "In the beginning of the 1800s ..." ?
Please let me know.
By the way, this costume is for the Regency ball, and I know several
people have indicated that the not-so-rich of the period would only
have English laces to choose from. However Jane Austen herself had a
cousin (I think it was a cousin) whose husband (the "Comte de
Feullide") perished on the guillotine, so we see that even the
not-so-terribly-grand might have relatives with connections all over
Europe. My story is that somebody could easily have relatives in
northern Europe who sent or brought over with them some presents of
lace.

Hi everybody:
I am trying to figure out what type(s) of lace would be appropriate
for
an English lady's evening costume for the period 1796 - 1817. Does
anybody have any thoughts? I know blonde lace was popular but I don't
know how to make it and I don't have enough time to learn.
