Re: [lace] Shantung Lace?

Never heard of shantung lace, but Shantung is wild silk, also a 
region/province in eastern China, so it's either silk lace or lace made 
in that area. Or both!  Do you have a photo of the lace/

Has anyone heard of Shantung Lace?  If so, what can you tell me about 
it?  My sister-in-law purchased an old wedding dress from the 1930s & 
the owner told her it is decorated with Shantung Lace.  The lace does 
not look handmade to me.  It has what appears to be a net (honeycomb?) 
ground & then "embroidered" flowers.  No thick gimps.
