Hello All! I got a chuckle out of the lace lingerie discussion. Exclusive & expensive lingerie may not be so far-fetched. About 15 years ago, DH & I were in NYC & stopped by Bergdorf Goodman just to see how the other 1/2 lives. In the lingerie dept., a French silk camisole & briefs was on display, trimmed in tiny & very fine lace. The sales staff advised that they had only two sets, 1 ivory & 1 pale (forget-me-not) blue, because they were hand sewn in France & $1200 each set! Clearly someone is making money with lace!! Maybe I should take that EGA class in fine French hand sewing just in case I ever finish an error-free length of edging!? On an affordable note, silk chemises are available at Victoria's Secret from time to time. I purchased one a few years ago intending to embellish it with silk ribbon embroidery but lace would do as well. Susan, in Erie, PA where the annual Greek festival has just concluded, mmm--mmm--good.
