…………………………This very special lace was one of my favorite all time finds. It was RAYON and NYLON……. The fine black threads of the nylon held it all together and created this web effect across the shiny rayon. The rayon had a satin, almost metallic effect…….The colors were IVORY with BLACK…….OLIVE with BLACK…..and MAGENTA with BLACK….There was a separate tank you could wear under them in matching colors, but if you had a sweater to match, [black always worked, but the olive TN in photos was even better], you could style the lace cardigan any way you wanted…..By now I had WK sweaters in all the colors…..I loved it worn straight and open, or tied in the front….high or low. It also looked great BELTED or wrapped over in the front and tied in the back as the photo at the upper right illustrates……It also looked great under other jackets……I never used this fabric again, nor did I ever fine another that was even similar which made this a true collectors piece.
