lace and a short history lesson
a bra not for support but for beauty.
this photo made me curious about the history of lace and lace-making.
sooo...lace-making. The craft may have begun in the first half of the 14th century in Flanders (Now on the border between France and Belgium). Lace was used by clergy of the early Catholic Church as part of vestments in religious ceremonies, but did not come into widespread use until the 16th century. and there you have it.
