Yes, there has been some confusion here. I sent a photo of the lace
stocking fronts I have to Alex, but she couldn't open what I sent
her. I have sent it to her again, but haven't heard whether she was
successful this second time. But to explain:
I have a pair of lace stocking fronts from the collection I have made
at my daughter's place in France. They are boat shaped, as Jeri says,
and are quite fine. The white silk stockings to which they were
attached are gone, but they were obviously cut away because there are
remnants of the silk knitting still evident. People who can identify
lace better than I will be able to determine exactly what period they
were made and where, but I suspect that they were simply from a pair
of very fancy silk stockings made between perhaps 1880 and WWI.
My problem is that I don't know how to post pictures so that they can
be seen by those of us who are on Arachne. If someone can help me with
this, I will be happy to send my photo to whoever it might be so that
everyone can see them. They are really quite nice.
