Dear All Don't forget the further problem - even if you have decided that a piece of black lace started off white, you don't know if it was dyed before or after sale. I have been given to understand that lace was dyed ecru with coffee or tea by owners not sellers, and I suspect most of us have met lace that has been over bleached after being bought second hand purely by using a modern detergent on it. It seems likely that if black lace became fashionable, or you went into mourning. out would come the dye. [email protected]
