Product Description

Product Description

Immensely useful volume, containing over 400 lace-related terms such as Florentine knots, lappets, a pillow horse, winkie pin, spangles, reticella, honiton, guipure, and Tuscan filet, discusses the origin, nomenclature, date and sequences of development of the more controversial forms. Enhanced with over 250 illustrations depicting various lace patterns, including a magnificent lace collar worn by Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, Queen Victoria’s wedding veil, the bridal tulle worn by Diana, Princess of Wales; and much more. A valuable book for lace-makers; a handy reference for cultural historians and needlecraft and fashion writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy reference, Jun 9 2000
This review is from: A Dictionary of Lace (Paperback)
This book is precisely what it says: a dictionary of lace. Clear, concise, definitions are given for a wide variety of types and styles of lace. Pat Earnshaw is a true scholar in the realm of lacemaking. If you want to know about many forms of lace, or the proper terms for the ones you make, this is a worthy reference to keep on the shelf.

1.0 out of 5 stars not complete, July 31 2010
By BT Sea - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Dictionary of Lace (Paperback)
Perhaps I did not receive a complete book but the fabulous illustrations are not identified as to what type of lace it is.
Not helpful in sorting out visually what type of lace I have in my collection.
