The Tudor Tailor is delighted to be able to offer a range of beautiful cotton lace from a traditional Nottingham lace factory. These designs are appropriate to the 16th and early 17th centuries - perfect for Tudor and Elizabethan costumes. Available in ivory/cream/'old white', 5/8in (15mm) wide.
The manufacturing process of this 100% cotton lace leaves it with a creamy colour. If a brighter, whiter shade is desired it is easily achieved by soaking the lace in hand hot water mixed with ordinary washing powder. Leave the lace to soak for half an hour before checking to see if it has lightened enough. If not, leave it to soak for longer.
Once the desired shade is achieved rinse the lace in clean water and gently squeeze out. Hang the lace up to dry, smoothing it out as much as possible, and allow to dry. Iron when slightly damp for a pristine finish.
PLEASE NOTE, this lace is sold by the half yard. To order the exact amount required simply select multiple quantities before adding it to your cart. For example, if you need 3 1/2 yards, select 7 in the 'quantity' box and we'll cut the 3 1/2 yards as one continuous length of lace.
We also offer a metallic gold version of this lace, which can be found here: etsy.com/uk/listing/508111691/gold-tudor-style-small-pointed-scallop.
