A short note from The Connoisseur on an original empire-style dress made entirely of Lille bobbin lace, illustrated with a photograph. It describes the straight-edged Lille designs, the ring-dot semé, and the hexagonal fond simple ground made by twisting and crossing threads. It also gives the dress's measurements and condition, notes that it was sold as a baby's robe, and mentions the smuggling of Lille lace into Britain.
