Lace Collection
Hi folks.
Some of you have asked about my lace collection and if I can show some photos. Here are photos of current stock that I am able to salvage for corsets. Some pieces there are enough for more than one corset, other pieces there is only enough for embellishment on the CF panels of a corset. But, at any rate, if you like a certain lace, let me know. Each piece is priced individually.
First up:
White (pure white) Italian crocheted lace. I picked this up personally while in Italy and bought it on an Island from an old woman who was actually making the lace herself! I have 1 yd left, enough for the top edges of one corset.
Next up, is an amazing antique straw coloured Edwardian handmade lace. It's amazingly exquisite. I have enough for the top edges on maybe 2 corsets if I can stretch it.
This is a beautiful 2" wide soft netted Edwardian lace in an ecru colour.
A very rare find, blonde chantilly lace. This piece is really only enough for a bit of an embellishment. It is not long enough to fully cover a corset. Pity!
An antique Mechlin lace. It's very soft and lovely to work it.
An antique Victorian lace. I'm not sure it's chantilly, but it is a beautiful cotton lace. There is only enough for embellishing a centre front panel.
And THIS handsome example is of antique chantilly. I have enough to do some major partial overlays on maybe two more corsets.
I have some more pieces in my stock that I should photograph, but that's all for now! :)
