The Old Lace Dress

The lace has always been one of the most used textiles - were fashionable or not- it has solved countless designs from the Middle Ages to today, and most surprising of all, is that still maintains the value of the past, adapting - that yes- to all pockets. It is not necessary that the lace of a party dress is handmade in India, would be ridiculous if you only buy that, but do not forget, my dear ladies, that the value it brings is not at all something you should ignore or disregard.

{El encaje ha sido siempre uno de los materiales textiles más utilizados - estuviese o no de moda- ha resuelto un sinfín de diseños desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros días, y lo más sorprendente de todo, es que aún mantiene el valor de entonces, adaptandose - eso sí- a todos los bolsillos. No es necesario que el encaje de un vestido de fiesta sea hecho a mano en la India, sería ridículo, pero no olvidéis, mis queridas señoritas, que el valor que éste conlleva no es en absoluto algo que se deba olvidar o no tener en cuenta}.
