Application Brussels
Like applique angleterre, this is a technique in which motifs made of Brussels lace are placed and sewn onto a delicate net. This technique allows for more freedom in creating delicate lace, and was primarily used for veils and shawls.
The steps below will be the same for other races, taking into account the historical background.
18th century lace was highly technical, elaborately handcrafted, and carried strong symbolic meaning within aristocratic society.
In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution led to the appearance of machine-made lace, and simpler, mass-produced designs became available. Floral and leafy patterns remained popular, but the decoration became more luxurious, and the variety of types and styles of lace expanded, becoming more popular among the general public and its uses became more widespread.
