This dress is made from silk yardage and trimmed with two bands of antique filet lace. Filet lace is built off a mesh ground, which is darned and embroidered with patterns. It is thought to have originated in fishing communities, who adapted their net-making skills for decorative use. Hand-mending throughout.
