Re: [lace] Looking for reproduction 1630 lace
Sharon, I do 17 Century re-enactment - I usually encourage people not to put lace on dresses of the period unless they are exceptionaly high class (we are talking aristocracy and royalty only). If your friend is desperate that it must have lace then you are looking at milanese style with very thin, tight swirls - I have a piece and if you want then email me privately and I will photograph it and send it to you Regards Liz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A friend asked me to help her find lace for reasonable lace for a 1630 dress. Lace of that time had deep scallops about 3 inches across. Any ideas for some sources?

Costume of the period varies quite a bit, depending on the country of origin, as costume experts and lace collectors will realize immediately. People from many nations/cultures are on Arachne. We are very willing to be of assistance, but often - to be accurate - we need a bit more information!
