Re: [lace] Re Kate and wearing lace

I am hoping that once the new ness of the job wears off she will relax a 
little.  The stress of the last 6 months must have been huge with the media 
watching every move.   She is an attractive young woman and shows off her 
elegant style and the beautiful lace nicely.   I hope she will be a good 
boost to our clothing industry and that lots of our less than elegant young 
women will attempt to follow her, without obscession.
I also feel that some of us mature grin women could still wear and do wear 
lace which draws the eye.  I saw some lovely pieces worn on  clothing from a 
small flower to a collar, at a fairly recent lace day.  I wonder where else 
some of the arachne people wear their lace apart from lace days or 
weddings??  Perhaps you would share that with us.

I'm afraid that people's eyes would not linger on my frame long enough to 
see the lace!!! ;-)

being much larger, there'd be more of it to see on me!

Here here Jean. Exactly my thoughts too.

When I was in England in April I bought a couple of t-shirts at Sainsbury's. 
When I got home, I found that one of them was a little low (v-necked).  I 
made a little triangular modesty of Idrija lace so now it is much more 
comfortable for me to wear.


I also have a couple of t-shirts to which I've added lace and wear them 
often.  One t-shirt gets thrown in the washing machine, the other gets 
washed by hand, not because of the lace, but because of the t-shirt.  It is 
a very nice italian cotton and cost me a fortune so it gets washed by hand.

Malvery, That sounds lovely, but I dont think I have any nice enough 
t-shirts around to show off beautiful lace to its best, so perhaps I need to 
keep my eyes open, or look at my wardrobe a bit better:-)


Do you find fine lace washes better or bigger grid ?
Well off to finish the dishes before I can prepare lace patterns and then 
make the lace.

enthusiastic around here near the coast.

I don't think that size matters too much.  You do need to stitch it all 
around so that it is firmly attached.  One t-shirt has a piece of Honiton 
and the other has three pieces of Milanese - same design, different braids. 
Both were made in fairly fine thread.
