If any of the UK Arachne's know any fashion or textiles students, you might like to steer them towards the Lace Guild website where Jean has posted the entry form for "Fit for a Princess". Tell them to spread the word to their friends and colleges.
This is a competition being run to stimulate the awareness and use of lace as part of an outfit, rather than just using lace yardage to make the clothes. It has an A4 presentation to keep the postage costs down for the entrants and for handling logistics at The Hollies (as early Contrasts entries may be arriving at the same time). The entries are to be judged and exhibited at Convention in Kidderminster (another good reason to come) and there is a first prize of £100.00! Look in the convention section of the website (www.laceguild.org) for the link to the entry form. If you do join us, remember that the over all theme for the weekend is "Dressed to Kill". With so much lace being used on fashion at the moment, there is no excuse for anyone to be without a bit if lace somewhere in their outfit, even if they didn't make it themselves. Even my iPhone case has black Point Ground lace printed on it. Also, if you are entering Contrasts, remember that you can bring your entry to Convention or to "Sunday in Stourbridge" to save posting it one way.
