White Lace

The White Lace design is a bride....

She faces forward with her hands holding a bouquet of roses. The design is long and narrow with the lace gown swirling in front of her. There is an arch of roses and ribbons over her head. The face is an over one very realistic and romantic vision under her clouds of veil. She began as a painting, so the stitches define the lace. Only an outline of beads is placed on the bottom edge to accent the lace border.
