And looking at that link I stumbled on Solstiss' press release:
"After dressing Grace Kelly for her wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco,
Solstiss, the French lace makers based in Caudry, has contributed to Kate
Middleton's wedding gown, with other factories from the north of France.
Solstiss did a rush delivery, 15 days before the Royal Wedding to the
Alexander McQueen 'studio : precisely 25 meters of Lace...... in 175 cm
width, color Silk and another design in 166 cm width ... A treasured secret
until the ceremony on Friday, April 29, 2011 in London.
Alexander McQueen's production manager confirmed it the same morning and
that the gown is made with 2,000 lace patterns appliqued on lace or tulle, a
real savoir-faire...."
15 days before the wedding! Those embroiderers worked hard and fast to get
it applied / attached in time!
