Thanks for all of the advice on fabric dying! An order from Dharma Trading Co is on the way to me. Next topic: the neckline lace. These are currently the highest quality photos I have of it, and they aren't great. But what are your theories? My best guess is currently that it's bobbin lace, with metal ribbon embroidery embellishment. But I have no experience with lacemaking, so I really don't know. There is a denser mass of threads beneath the flowers, and the ribbon near the top almost looks like a silk satin ribbon, but wavy on one side. I could be wrong about the bobbin lace. It could even be all embroidered on top of cotton bobbinet, with the gold thread securing a ribbon along the edge. But what do you think?
