A friend's granddaughter is getting married in September, and thinking of
wearing the Brussels Lace veil, which has been worn by 50 or so brides in
the family. So it has been brought out for inspection, and a jagged edge
tear discovered in it.
I was sent photos today to see what I thought could be done with it, and
don't really know what to suggest. I have uploaded these photos to Flickr,
and am hoping that someone can give me advice on what to tell them.

This looks like it's outside my needlework skills. Making new bobbin lace
is so much easier than repairing tears!!
They put a coin on it to give an idea of scale of the hole. I think it is a
U.S. dime and so is about 3/4 inch or 2cm in diameter
