Regarding Elenaâs comment below, there have been other haute couture houses which used bobbin lace. One of note was a spectacular Pierre Balmain gown, the bodice of which was almost entirely of âpoint dâespritâ (leaves) in various tonal peach shades. The lace was made by lacemakers at Hôtel de la Dentelle in Brioude, France. Nathalie Bailly taught a Cluny de Brioude class at the IOLI convention in Montreal (in 2007 ?) and showed us pictures of it. I believe they have done other such commissions.
