Hi All! Thank you for all of you wonderful suggestions. It's a good idea to purchase as much thread that I think that I'm going to use. Then, just to make sure that I have enough, I buy 3 times as much! I do like Tonder Lace and especially the Tonder Heart. Which is appropriate. Both of my parents came from Danmark. I was born in California. If I can find a good picture of it I can draft the pattern, if I can't find the book.
I should have elaborated on my query with my background. My Mother and I used to make 3-5 wedding gowns/parties a year. I understand the ins and outs of making gowns. Also I'm the only wage earner in this household. I make things to sell. If I don't, I can't make money. I don't have the time to complete something when she gets engaged. Unless of course my knight in shining armor whisks me off my feet and turns me into a lady of leisure. God willing and the creek don't rise. I have to plan ahead for these things. I've seen brides get engaged and married in as little as 4 weeks. And then again in 2 years. Yes I know it's HER dress. And HER style. And HER colors. And she WANTS me to make the lace for her wedding dress and the dress. She wants the traditional white dress. That's in keeping with her character. (Well we do live one step above Amish with internet. We live off-the-grid.) As to the style that will happen when the times comes. Oh she wants to make all the goodies that go along with it. Ya think I'm going to be a bit busy. Busy like a one armed wall paper hanger with a 12 room mansion to do. LOL!!! I stopped making bridal gowns for others because my last bride was a bridezilla. Yes it's your special day. But you don't have to treat people who are working for you as if they are nothing but dirt. Don't forget it's your new husbands day also.
