Thank you Jeri & Sue! My query was prompted by a photo in an online article—“The Royal Family’s Christening Gown Has a Fascinating History” at townandcountrymag.com. The pic shows Prince George in 2013 & the photo detail is better than many others. According to the article, the original lace (commissioned for Queen Victoria) was made by “Janet Sutherland, a miner’s daughter” from Falkirk, Scotland. The replica was undertaken by Angela Kelly, Queen Elizabeth’s personal wardrobe advisor who worked with “craftsmen in Britain & Italy”. When I looked at the replica photo, it seemed like the lace was appliqued on tulle, overlaid on a silk dress. I was interested in the construction method. Sincerely, Susan Hottle FL USA
