Alice â I remember you wearing lappets at one (or 2) of the IOLI conventions. I seem to remember you had a different one from your collection, each day! Everyone was looking out for you to see what you were wearing that day â lace-wise!! Next Convention I went to, I wore my Beds Dress Cap (featured on the cover of Barbara Underwoodâs, Beds Lace book!) I did mine in navy polycotton â I) I have white hair, so a white lace cap would not show up â navy shows up well!!!, and 2) Polycotton, although rotten to work with, at least never creases, - so I can haul it out of my bag, or suitcase, and it is âready to wearâ!!! I then made a mauve cap working from the same outline/shape, but in Knotted lace! The 3 tails at the back were a challenge for me â so it was a good learning piece!!! I must bring them along â if we can organize our trip over there again this year!
I worked the neck tie from Mincroff & Marriage book and it always gets nice remarks, and last year I saw it made in pale colours â multi-coloured, and it was Stunning. A lot is the shape of the ends â I think it may have originally been lappet ends.
