diamonds.

I've enjoyed her in so many films! Unfortunately, this dress looks like
someone swathed a bolt of fabric around her, tucking it in to her undies
as they went along, and then topped it with the printed lace. The good
news is that at least designers are still using lace in fashion!

Hi Everybody:
Probably Westwood - Helena B-C. wears Westwood a lot. She loves to look
dramatic and rather odd and Westwood is just the designer for that. Yes, those
are Torchon spiders, wildly enlarged and photo-transfered, on the sleeves. Very

they nearly always appear in the most obvious place. I made abookmark

complete the twists after the forth pin on one side of the 4 only. I
I am making an edging which I started at Lace Convention in Bristol (2005?)

rather than the Roseground that was in all the other triangles. I
Gidday all,
I am in urgent need of historical info on specifically Torchon lacemaking.
I have wracked my brains, my books and the internet, but everyone seems to

torchon. The book LePompe 1559 is a pattern book published in 1559 which
consists of woodcuts of patterns for bobbin lace. It is the oldest pattern
