Developed in the late 1800s and named after the son-in-law of Queen Victoria, this lace gets its distinctive look by combining both machine-woven tapes with hand stitching. This lace immediately became popular and helped to revive the English lace-making industry and remains a popular embellishment for the linen rochet or cotta.
I wish I knew where to find a cotta and an alb with deep lace.
