This flounce and border to match, of cut cambric or muslin stitched on to net (appliqué), and embroidered with various devices, were made from designs for which special prizes were offered and awarded by Her Excellency the Marchioness of Londonderry. The lace was produced at the Bath and Shirley Schools, Carrickmacross, and has an appearance somewhat similar to Brussels appliqué lace. The design is by Miss Z. A. Inman, of Halstead, Essex.
