I do love that you can make out her hat pins.


Thanks Robin for that gorgeous closeup. I wonder if she's allowed to 
put her own lippy on yet

Yes, I'm sure it is machine made; possibly chemical lace neatly snipped apart 
and stitched to the hat.

[lace] Queen's Blue lace hat

Here is a close up of the hat with trim.  I'm 100% sure its machine made.
It looks like a guipure trim that was bought by the yard (you can see how
VERY repetitive it is), but it may (more likely) have been produced for
this outfit.  I wonder if the bits on the lower dress were panels that were
fitted together for that look.  I've done that a few times on dressed.  I
checked a couple of my fave lace suppliers and no matches, but a lot of
similar.

I do love that you can make out her hat pins.
