Rosaline lace

A Brussels variant with needle lace pearls is called Rosaline Perlée.

The cheaper guipures were affected but the better Brussels laces stayed in demand for wedding trousseaux.

The same name has been used for a seventeenth century Venetian needle lace with similar design.

A special variant connects the flowers with short crinkly edges.

[6] A piece of lace may look irregular when different parts were created by different people, tension and number of pairs may vary.
