I hadn't thought of the dancing afterwards, but yes! I'm now reminded
of a friend's wedding in India, where for one of the ceremonies she
had worn a spectacular blue and gold outfit in the traditional style
but nearly backless from the waist up, laced to hold it together

I'm with you, Bev. I think it's quite something. And
with a good dance partner would look really something
on the dance floor. I'm assuming she can swing her
hips when she dances.

My reaction was what a shame that a lovely display of lace (whatever the
type) was spoiled by how it was displayed...to make a statement that's for
sure. It took me a few minutes to find it on the site, turns out it's the

Not to worry Clay, I for one value your opinion even if it isn't the
same as mine at the moment. I still think the dress is rather fetching
on the right person - and to be practical, it is quite something to
admire from the back - which is where a lot of people would be viewing
the bride, during th

No, really, I'm serious. I tried it, and was pleased that the work
went more quickly. It is more difficult to make the lace look exact,
and if that is the desired effect (i.e. precision), then for sure use
pins. With practice, the lace will look just as precise, though. I

I have tried it, took some patterns in to the photocopy place, and got

except to find that the plastic and paper came away after cutting -
but of course, if the laminant only sticks to itself LOL.
Hello all,
Until recently I always used cardboard and blue plastic for my photo copied
prickings from books, but now I have bought a cheap laminating machine and
copy on light blue paper instead and laminate the copy. It's much better
than I thought and I'm very satisfied with the quality. I don'

I thought that the "headline" above her right shoulder was kind of

I thought it looked like chemical lace but the picture on the website
isn't detailed enough to see properly. Alas I haven't got the figure
for that style of dress so I won't be wearing anything like it to Lace
