Victorian retailer pattern bridal veil - Cornely cotton embroidered "Medallion Lace" - Fingertip.

This is a Victorian cotton embroidery pattern from the 1880s and was know as "Medallion Lace"

The embroidery is done freehand on a traditional Cornely machine, using an extremely lightweight matt ecru Indian cotton yarn.

Because of the lightweight nature of the embroidered lace the technique was used on Victorian & Edwardian silk tulle veils, as other retailer more weighty cotton laces made silk veils hang straight down rather than "floating" nicely !
The same "floating" appearance is achieved today on the fine 20 denier tulles we now use.

The tulle in the listing is pale ivory with a sheen/sparkle to emulate the silk tulles of old.
