Devon, thank you so much for posting that letter. I had a look and there is quite a bit of lace, on its own and on costume. Lovely!
Helene, the froggy from Melbourne, where the weather is so nice I've been spending an hour lacing on the back terrace after work everyday!. Pity the mozzies chase me inside as soon as the sun goes down! Devon - Thank you so much for your recent inquiry into the department of Costume and Textiles' collection of lace. We currently possess close to 800 pieces of lace, ranging in date from the mid-16th century through the early 20th century. A number of these are currently available to view online through our searchable Collections Online site, which can be accessed through our homepage - www.lacma.org <http://www.lacma.org/> . I encourage you and your readers to visit the site, and please be sure to take a tour of our current exhibition, "Images of Fashion from the Court of Louis XIV" online - which features several examples of lace from the period. This exhibition is also exceptionally apropos to your inquiry as it features work housed in our Doris Stein Research Center. I hope that this information is helpful to you and your readership.
