[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4361258, member: 13464"][USER=8340]@Tanya[/USER] ! How exciting! Congratulations! What a lovely piece to have for the baby's special day!! Is there a photo of the original wearer, wearing it?? :) Yes, the lace is machine made and cotton. [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] has a possible repair suggestion... that would be if you wanted to re weave it... but hair is difficult to work with. My first question is do you want it "rewoven" to look like the design... or just nicely repaired? If you stretch the lace out... is it all "there" (as in a tear) or is it a real hole with missing thread? Where is the hole located? Smack in the front or in a less obvious location? What is the general condition of the piece? Dry rot? Dingy? Lightly worn? How much time is available for the repair? Let me know what you can - and we can proceed from there? Cheerio Leslie[/QUOTE]
