[lace] Re: Lace in Fashion
You can see the sash (near hand on model left) and there is an ellipse between it and the dress, but you see that the top of the lace is standing proud and away from the fabric (in this case, a sheer overlayer that is of a chiffon nature). It has the appearance one creates with an illusion of the eye, which is a diffused quality over the solid underlayer. (There is much playing with techniques in which sheer over which solid, viewed up close or at a distance, fluid vs. more structured in the design elements, creates the ideal objective. The edge of it shows it is a machine lace that has been appliqued/applied to the sheer, but on first viewing and in the smaller picture, it appeared that it could have been machine embroidered on the sheer layer).

I was at the hairdressers last week reading one of those magazines that just have lots of things to buy. It had an article about lace including lace wallpaper, but the thing that caught my eye was a tote bag made of raffia or straw with a border at the bottom of about four 3 squares of Irish crochet. There was also some crochet on the large fastener. What got my interest and astonishment was the price - $3,500. It was by Dolce Gabanna sp Some people must have more money than sense but it was good to see lace on unusual items. That one sent me digging through some old, almost forgotten, stuff... :) Years ago -- long before I started making BL -- I made myself a pocketbook for summertime occasions. Took a 50-cent, cream-colored, 13x8 filet-crochet doily as the base (those things used to be dirt cheap in antique and second-hand stores; probably still are). Folded the length: 7.5+1.5+4. Made it into an envelope bag by crocheting two sides (1.5x4), each with a strong loop at the top, to the folded doily. Made a (same colour) lining. Same size as the bag, but with the bottom (1.5x8) re-inforced with a strip of flexible plastic (cut off an old binder, but almost anything would serve, as long as it's washable). Crocheted a tab for the front, hammering in half of a snap through the (re-inforced) lining first. Crocheted a cord to go through the side loops (I like bags which hang over the shoulder and low enough for easy access to my pack of cigs g). The second half of the snap was pounded in through both the doily and the lining. And I added a couple of crocheted buttons (scrounged off MIL's bedjacket that she was about to toss out) to dangle off the tab, for fun. The doily was $0.52 (tax included g); the matching crochet cotton (for sides, front tab and cord) was about $1. The lining was fabric left over from lining curtains and the hammer-in snaps I always had on hand for the Polish style pillow- and quilt-cases and for my son's clothes (those crotch snaps, which make a diaper change easy, were a _revelation_; I'd seen nothing like that back in Poland of 33 yrs ago g) Thanks, Janice, for reminding me of the bag. It's really too small for everyday use, which is why it had been stashed in the back of the closet for 20 yrs or so and entirely forgotten. But I dug it up just now and it's still _nice_. Once it's washed, it'll go well with one of the outfits I plan to take with me for the CA wedding (DH's nephew).

You all seem to think this is a wedding dress, because one of the headlines is 'wedding scoop'. But the picture is too small to read what is says under that, is it referring to the dress?? To me this looks more like it has to do with the 'sexy ideas for every shape' article that is mentioned at the bottom of the page. To me this looks more like an evening dress than a wedding dress, and as you all know, a lot of evening dresses can be quite provocative when I first looked at the picture it didn't say 'wedding dress' to me at all, but more evening dress, or maybe even negligeewhich could be as sexy as one wanted Don't jump to conclusions because of reading only one headlineDon't forget, this is the February issue, think Valentine'sIf it was a June issue I would say 'Wedding dress', but not the February issue.

[lace] re: Lace in Fashion
My reaction was what a shame that a lovely display of lace (whatever the type) was spoiled by how it was displayed...to make a statement that's for sure. It took me a few minutes to find it on the site, turns out it's the cover of the Feb issue not the Mar one, in the meantime I typed lace in their search engine and was intrigued to see a lace skirt under desk to date...worn very sedately over a longer skirt. Interesting too that there's a link to Louise Vermuelen's site (I'm sure I've seen this mentioned on Arachne) real Belgian lace manufactory. Better than Walmart that's for sure...and there were a few things that piqued my interest. Back to my Bucks samples, and re-considering whether to go to Montreal or do something else instead...

[lace] Re: [lace-chat] Fashion/all black
I am moving this back from chat to lace because I think it is taking a lace related turn. In a message dated 12/23/2004 2:31:08 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've sat many times, watching workers on their way to and from the office, walking around the city, and thought how dreary they all looked! I consider the adoption of totally black attire by the office workers of New York, and apparently Sydney, to be highly advantageous to our campaign to establish modern hand made lace as the fashion accessory of the rich and sophisticated. It was exactly in this fashion setting that the Flemish bobbin laces developed and flourished. In the Chapter entitled The Triumph of Bobbin Lace, c. 1620-c.1675, Santina Levey observes: At the same time, the elaborately patterned velvets and embroideries of the sixteenth century were replaced by plain or subtly-patterned silks in dark or strong colours and these provided an admirable contrast to lace which was now displayed lying flat against them. Although the mall traffic is horendous, I have none the less braved the throngs of holiday shoppers to take advantage of a Talbots sale. I am now equipped with three pairs of plain stretchy black pants and several black turtle necks and a few black jewel neck tops. They are all washable. I am ready to perform as a living billboard for modern lace. Although my appearances at La Cage au Folles and PDQ Bach are already sponsored, I am still looking for support for my pre-theatre dinners at Cente Lire, a fashionable eatery near the Met and Ruby Foo's a posh Asian Fusian restaurant in Times Square. I am also considering adding a Boxing Day concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine to my appearences if there is sufficient interest. Devon PS I think that the adoption of entirely black attire is also related to a belief that it is very slimming. Another technique for slimming through fashion is to attract attention to the non-fat areas like the neck with elaborate neck decoration. Perhaps it would be wise to drop the observation that modern lace around the neck of totally black attire performs a double slimming function whenever speaking to someone who seems vulnerable to such considerations. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
