Never heard of shantung lace, but Shantung is wild silk, also a
region/province in eastern China, so it's either silk lace or lace made
in that area. Or both! Do you have a photo of the lace/

Has anyone heard of Shantung Lace? If so, what can you tell me about
it? My sister-in-law purchased an old wedding dress from the 1930s &
the owner told her it is decorated with Shantung Lace. The lace does
not look handmade to me. It has what appears to be a net (honeycomb?)
ground & then "embroidered" flowers. No thick gimps.
