Cardinal Filipe Neri António Sebastião do Rosário Ferrão.

OMG. There's element of tape-lace in it, which could be either bobbin lace or crochet (aka Bruges lace). Also, the pixel-art looking lace could be filet crochet again.

So, different crochet techniques? Which would point to hand-made...

If it is hand-made, we're looking at *hundreds* of hours here O.O

Okay, first one:

not technically an outfit, but still white lace :-D

At first glance, I'd say this is filet crochet, but I did see a similar lace in one of the outfits, and there it looked woven?

Anyone wanna weigh in?

If it is filet crochet, I'd estimate somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes per flower motif, so 30 to 60 hours total if we're seeing almost the whole table here.

Since the outfit of the cardinals came up, I wonder: how much of the #lace in them is hand-made?

I found this article from 2022 with close-ups of the outfits, and I wonder which of the white lace is hand-made and how many hours of work it took?

Let's have a look and feel free to add your knowledge :-D

I usually use this cotton thread for shuttle tatting and it makes a lovely lace. That made me want to try crocheting it as well, and this is the result. I'm thinking i can make another strip like this and use them as cuffs on a blouse, swipe to see ➡️
Thoughts? Will it look nice? What kind of fabric should i look for and what kind of a blouse/shirt/top should the cuffs go with?
