Re: [lace] Brittany Lace headdresses in National Geographic Magazine (April 2014)

I found the Breton lace headdress article on-line:
http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2014/04/breton-women/fiegl-text

Here are the photos:

While the headdresses are very impressive, they appear to be modern,
so I doubt that much of the lace is handmade. Still, the photographs
are marvelous!

 Hello,
 I just got my copy of National Geographic Magazine, and there is an article,
 Legacy in Lace, about lace headdresses in Brittany (France).  The article is
 short, with a bit of history and about a dozen pictures of different
 headdresses.  No mention made of any specific lace techniques.
