I have just had a look at this catalogue. Wonderful. I am especially intrigued by #30/31 - and when brought up in close-up, the strips of appliqué on her dress appears to be gold and silver Lace - similar to laces shown in Le Pompe, etc.
What do others think? I had always felt that the early laces were possibly/probably appliquéd onto the clothes, and that many of the portraits showed lace that was not so easily recognised as such, due to them looking like strips of embroidery.
