If the dress was completed, I think the Royal School of Needlework ladies
who applied the lace would have had more than a tiny inkling about who the
dress was for.
Rochelle said The press release might have just said the lace
was appliqued
and left it at that. Now there might be an opportunity to build
on the
interest and get more people doing lace, which after all is what we

The latest issue of Notions, the newsletter of the American Sewing Guild, has
an article on the wedding dress lace. The lace supplying the flowers for her
dress was from two lace manufacturers, Solstiss and Sophie Hallette. The lace
from Solstiss is now available from Fine Fabrics in Santa

Hi all,
I get the digest version of lace so I don't know if anyone has mentioned
that the BBC has a short (5 min) audio slideshow about an exhibition of 6
royal dresses at Kensington Palace? It includes close up shots of some of
the lace on Q Victoria, Q Alexandra and Q Mary's dresses.

Joachim. The present queen, Margrethe 2nd has only 2 sons, Frederik was born

Hi Joan and Elizabeth,
I hope that you managed to see a bit of the Danish Royal wedding. It was the

This is for those of you who would like to see the Danish Royal Wedding
live. One of our TV stations is transmitting live on the internet and there
is also English translation.
I'm off to my favourite position on the sofa to enjoy it all. The actual
ceremony is at 4pm Danish time.
I did not stay up to see the Royal Wedding - (It was the wee small hours
here in Oz,) but we have just bought the newspaper, and it shows the bride
on the front page. I had heard, on the radio, that she wore a 100 year old
Irish lace veil, and from the picture in the paper, it looks like
