An article in the Weekend Financial Times, at present on line at http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1b3218fe-8717-11e2-bde6-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2NvNh cA53 gives an interesting insight into how designers, High Street and couture, are using lace now. Obviously machine, but it may inspire one of us to wear something. Clare Brown of the V&A (where the Treasures of the Royal Courts exhibition of course includes lace) talks about ruffs, illustrated by one worn in a Tudor portrait minature, and one worn as part of an Alexander McQueen model! It finishes with a glossary of types of lace, useful to us because it's how the terms are used by the fashion industry, ie the users, not by us, the makers. As ever, divided by a common language! leonard...@yahoo.com
