Hi Clay: I think that gown is lovely, too. But I think it's a printed fabric. If you zoom in and look down at the sides of the dress where the dress hits the floor, you can see that there is a sheer black fabric overlay, and the "lace" is on that. I think it's printed in gold on a black organza fabric. Another reason I think it is printed is that there doesn't seem to be any net background holding the motifs in place. Even if the net were very fine, when you zoom in I think it would still show as a colour change in the black, but there isn't anything like that happening here.
Adele PS: The Duchess of Cambridge's dress was described in the Canadian press as having a pale underdress of neoprene. Excuse me? Neoprene? Isn't that what they make wetsuits out of? Sounds awfully uncomfortable. I hope for her sake they were wrong and it's really cotton or silk or something breathable.
