I think designer clothing is, and always has been, a bit over the top, but 
when moderated, sets the trends for off-the-rack.  So I can safely say that I 
have never worn designer fashions, and even in my youth would never have 
strutted my stuff like this!

But golly, if the clothes were not so transparent, they would be gorgeous!

It was fun to see the lace clothes.  For the general public, I can see some of 
these styles being worn, but with a lining.

I have been looking at some clothing catalogs I get (low-end modest price 
variety) and have noticed a high number of fashions including lace.  I counted 
over 20 items in one catalog with lace on them or made entirely of lace.  Some 
were crocheted and some machine lace.  Short bolero lace  sweaters seem to be a 
new fashion.  There were also long sweaters and blouses made entirely of lace, 
as well as lace trimming on many different styles of garments.

When we pursue our 'Wear Lace In Public' campaign. we may need to make a 
special effort to let people know that our lace is handmade and unique.

All,
My husband  I went to a dinner for Cheyenne Frontier Days last week. Miss 
Frontier  her Lady-in-Waiting were there. They both were wearing white lace 
tops (with black under tops), jeans  hand tooled cowboy boots. The lace tops 
were machine made, but very nice. Normally, they wear cowboy shirts or 
something similar, so this was a nice change.

[lace] Silk Clothing - Lace Thread Question

2013-02-04 Thread Susie Rose
Hello to One and All!

This Saturday while yard saleing with my neighbor, I
purchased cream silk dupioni curtains for $2US.  The silk is in very good
condition.  I want to make a suit out of this fabric.  Years ago I've designed
a cluny style lace for my suits.  Each lace pattern is made individually to
follow the cut of each individual clothing pattern. In addition to the lace
trim around the edges it has a motif running from the back neckline down to
the center of the back.  Then hand applied to the clothing.  My dilemma...I
prefer the color blue over white/cream clothing.  (I don't need to look larger
than I'm already am!  I'm no longer a size 6!) So dye the silk to the color
that I want and make my lace white.  (Which I prefer and I have a lot of
thread for this on hand.)  Or keep the silk the cream color and make the lace
a royal blue. 


So here's my question. For blue lace...what thread would you
recommend and why?  I'm usually making lace in rayon or linen threads.  But
for this piece I don't want to use rayon. 

 
Hugs,

Re: [lace] Silk Clothing - Lace Thread Question

2013-02-04 Thread Sue Babbs

If I was making a silk suit, I would want the lace to be silk too.

Pipers  silks are wonderful, and I would use those.  If you decided on 
coloured threads they carry a wonderful rainbow of colours as well as white, 
cream and black, and in all sort of thicknesses. I really like the gloss 
silks, as I have a weakness for shiny silk!  Though I also use the spun 
silks.

Re: [lace-chat] Richard III's remains identified!!

2013-02-04 Thread Adele Shaak
Hi David:

I think they talk about Shakespeare as having created the humpback, the 
withered arm, plus he did a hatchet-job on Richard III's character. I wonder if 
 in Shakespeare's day they would have seen the scoliosis (which developed on 
during Richard's adolescence) as an outward sign of the evil within - 
absolutely tailor-made for emotional drama!

Interesting that the descendent of Richard's family that they found, Michael 
Ibsen, was the last in the line. This type of DNA goes from a mother to all of 
her children, male and female, but only descends further through the female - 
men don't pass it on. Michael Ibsen has a sister but she has no children. So - 
one generation more and they wouldn't have had any descendant to compare DNA 
with.

 Dear Friends,
 I find this new archaeological discovery just fascinating. The use of 
 DNA technology seems to be going ahead in leaps and bounds. Hope this 
 tiny URL works for you:-

 My only concern is that from my extensive reading on Richard III, 
 authors have lead me to understand that the myth of his scoliosis was 
 created by Shakespeare, but perhaps that was merely the withered arm.

[lace-chat] Richard III's remains identified

2013-02-04 Thread Jean Nathan
I switched on BBC News Channel on the TV especially to watch the 
announcement. Scientists with specialities in the identification each gave a 
presentation before the announcement that the remains are those of Richard 
III. It was extremely interesting to hear how the work they had done and the 
evidence they had considered, with graphics and photographs had led to the 
conclusion - until the BBC decided to interrupt it for breaking news - MP 
Chris Huhne had changed his plea to guilty over asking his then wife to take 
penalty points for speeding for him on her driving license! Since when was 
an MP lying news? I was so cross that they'd interrupted something 
so historic for that!


They went back to the press conference for Richard III, only to interrupt it 
again for an update on the Chris Huhne situation. Fortunately they went 
back to the press conference for the actual announcement that the remains 
are those of Richard III and that they will be re-interred in Leicester 
Cathedral.


Absolutely brilliant.

I seem to remember reading, or hearing, that almost contemporary historians 
 (to Richard III) began a hatchet job on him very soon after he died and  
Shakespeare followed that line of thought/propaganda.

Hi All,  I see no one mentioned Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey.  It's
a mystery story about Richard III and it says he did not kill the little
princes.  I'll have to get it out, it's been a while since I read it.

Really good and for some reason I thought it was true.
