I too was confused about what I had read about the dress and the terminology. What I had read was talk about appliqueing motifs and they called it Carrickmacross. Those two are not the same. An applique technique would be like Princess Lace. Carrickmacross designs are worked directly onto net. I will be teaching Carrickmacross Lace at the IOLI Convention this August in Bethesda, Maryland. There are still openings in my class if anyone is interested.
Karen Bovard The ShuttleSmith Omaha, Nebraska, USA ________________________________ From: David C COLLYER <dccoll...@ncable.net.au> I think the bodice was in fact Chantilly (don't know if it was hand-made or not). The Carrickmacross flowers motifs may have been lower down or even on the veil. From what I've read these were indeed hand appliqued and traditional Carrickmacross consists of such motifs in organdie appliqued on to net. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
