Mmmmm... I think tatting and chainmail are charming together. Never quite thought about it before! ; )
If you follow the link Bev gave for the movie poster, you'll also find a link for a movie trailer... There are lots and lots of glimpses of lace in there! I especially like the first picture you see - showing the side and back of a formal standing ruff... Not an angle you usually see of these things. And there's a scene where she's screaming at a Spanish messenger(?) and you can see what I would call a "wardrobe malfunction" where her ruff seems to be falling apart on one side. Thanks, Bev!
