Hi Helen
As there is no longer a Honiton lace industry these days - only Hobby
lacemakers, I suspect that it would be extremely difficult for even the
Queen to commission lace to be made.
It would certainly have be extremely expensive in order to entice lacemakers
to part with their lace and as most people only do a few hours lace at one
time, an overshirt with as much lace on it as the original had would
probably take years to produce.
Pieces that have been made for royalty in recent times have mostly been by
way of a gift from the lacemakers of Honiton.
