Re: [h-cost] Lace ID Help
I'm not clever enough to know the answer, only that it is not one of the types of lace that I make myself. However, there are lots of experts at the Arachne list [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you prefer, I'll be happy to pass on your enquiry to them, and forward replies to you.

It looks to me like Battenburg lace. At work... that's all I can think of without my books. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Lace ID Help
It looks like Irish crochet, most likely imitating gros point de Venise needle lace or the like. Beyond Pat Earnshaw's books, which are great for finer earlier laces but not more modern cheaper laces, a book I find easy to use for quick lace id is: Guide to Lace and Linens, by Elizabeth M.

Re: [h-cost] Lace ID Help
It is Irish Crochet. I recognize the motifs (and if I had some time I could probably find the patterns for them).

Can anyone help me identify what type of lace is on a bodice circa 1900-1906? You can view a photo enlargement of the lace at: http://www.costumegallery.com/temp/1900beigebodicelace.jpg I'm not a lace expert, but I do have a Lace Dictionary published in 1913. I went through the whole book, and the closest I could match it to was Crochet Lace, also known as Irish Lace, raised Rose point, Point de Trico or Honiton crochet to indicate the character of the design more than the technique. There is more to the entry if anyone is interested. There is a photo of the crochet lace at: http://www.mantua-maker.com/id24.html (or, if my sitebuilder gets repaired, at: http://www.mantua-maker.com/crochet_lace_photo.html) Click on the photo for a larger view. If anybody has a better guess, I'll look up the entry and post it, too.

It has the little flower motifs crocheted separately and then crocheted into a ground. Julie ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
