Royal Honiton Lace by Elsie Luxton and Yusai Fukyama
With unprecedented access to the Royal Lace collection this book shows the history of Honiton lace through it's Royal connections and support.
Access was given to the Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace and also the Royal Archives.
The cover shows the Honiton Lace covered Christening gown originally made for Queen Victoria and used up until Prince Williams christening.
What works well?
- The photos included in this book give access to the Royal lace that is normally unavailable for viewing
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
- This is a history and appreciation of the Royal Lace and not a book of patterns
- This book is currently out of print, but is often available on from online booksellers and occasionally on eBay
