According to Radmilla (someone please supply her last name as I am drawing a blank), one of the Eastern European (Czech?) peasant laces was useful and needful. She said fabric was expensive or hard to come by, and any housewife or daughter could make lace. The lace was sewn to collars, cuffs, hems, etc. to protect the precious fabric from wear and tear. That really stuck in my mind, as it is so backwards to today's society.
