Hi Arachnids,
Please find a full 'human' (well sort of ;-)) translation of the text that

The translation is a pretty good one!
But there is one important thing missing.
Kant in Dutch means not only side, but also Lace.
So the last sentence, in Dutch Het laat Kate van haar
Hi all,
Yes, kant can be translated as lace, but then it would have said ,,IN haar
beste kant (in her best lace) and not ,,VAN haar beste kant (from her best
side).
Happy lace making,

Hello All! New from Lilly Pulitzer--a little white dress for summer--Shayna.
Made out of vintage papillon lace. LP has always had lace or lace trimmed
garments in the line but this is even better. Hooray! Usual disclaimers!!

I am sure that if someone contacts Santina Levey she will be able to
provide more information about the picture on the front of her book although
I am not sure where she is nowadays. The information on the inside cover of
the book says 'Van Meytens, Portrait of the Empress Maria

I have Levey's book and looked at the cover. But from that it is impossible
to tell if it is needle or bobbin, or what kind. The open transparency of the
ground possibly suggests needle lace with a bar ground (large holes). Given
the time period the other kind of transparent ground
Dear Spiders,
Thanks for the responses regarding the lace dress. The reserve price was
not met the first time and the seller has relisted it. I certainly can't
afford it and also I prefer to purchase Maltese and Le Puy laces when I can
get them inexpensively. I have managed to pick up a
Dear Fellow Spiders,
I came across this lace dress on eBay. I'm not an expert but my first
impression is that it is Russian lace. Regardless of the type of lace, it
is very beautiful and would have taken a long time to make.
It is an interesting dress. I wouldn't mind owning it
myself. The pictures are intriguing but don't let me
close enough to really 'see' the lace. At first
viewing, it is bobbin lace style, not crochet as
mentioned in the listing. They do say 'machine made
crochet'.
Considering the style and
Hi Alice,
I would tend to agree about the lace fabric suggestion until I look closely
at the picture that has the best close-up. If you click on 'larger image'
it looks to me like there are two workers passing in and out of the cloth
stitch areas and I thought machine lace tended to use one
Yes, I agree that the close-up pictures allow us to see that the workers
go in pairs. On the other hand, I am also surprised to see darts and
pin-tucking in lace!! Usually, lace is worked with more finesse in a
fine garment (re the darts) and the pin-tucking is just awkward, IMHO.
I believe
Machine lace (Barmen machine) does have pairs of workers, but my
feeling is that this is hand made BL, Russian or other Eastern
European. Looks as though there are lots of sewings joining the braids
together, that's not something that the Barmen machine can do.
Yes Clay, I do think that it
