Dear Spiders Thank you all so much for your quick and highly informative replies to my query about Queen Victoria's dress. I shall send a polite/educational email to the company in question, quoting snippets from information received. Also I shall tell them that even Kate Middleton's wedding dress was made of machine made lace and not handmade and pass on the link that Brenda sent me.
I think we can close the book on this one now but thank you all very much. I'm off to Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire today to see the 'Lace 21' exhibition.
