Whilst living in California (1986-89), I bought a large cross stitch pattern of a native Indian lady. On return to UK, Mike made me a large floor-standing frame. I did about a quarter of the pattern over a long period of time, as I did not have a lot of time to work on anything with two young

My absolute favorite was the gown worn by January Jones! AND... I think that gown could be made to be flattering on women of *any* size (or age)! I found it impossible to tell whether this was really lace or a good printed fabric that looked like lace but in nearly all of the others,

Hi Clay: I think that gown is lovely, too. But I think it's a printed fabric. If you zoom in and look down at the sides of the dress where the dress hits the floor, you can see that there is a sheer black fabric overlay, and the lace is on that. I think it's printed in gold on a black organza

H.I was thinking it looked like gold embroidery (Schiffli??) appliqued onto the black or worked directly on the black sheer. Notice the little wisps of gold thread at the top of the gold where it begins just below the sheer top part of the bodice. Also, the gold motifs at the bottom

I found the designer - Carolina Herrera, (in the pre-fall 2011 collection) and have found several articles describing this as chantecaille lace. I've never heard of chantecaille lace, and cannot find a definition for the word chantecaille in either French or English online dictionaries. Has

Hi Adele and everyone Chantecaille is a cosmetic line if that helps any... The word is not in my Canadian French dictionary. Chanter, to sing, caille, a quail (quail's song???) shawnta-k-eye does have a nice sound though. On 7/3/11, Adele Shaak ash...@shaw.ca wrote: I found the designer -

Hello Again--Thank you Bev! Both dresses were stunning very wearable. So fresh modern--a great way to re-ignite general interest in lace. And how lovely to have a fashion conscious gal representing Britain again. Her mapleleaf pin, presumably diamond, was smashing as well. Oh Canada!!
