The Caudry Lace Dress * On Display in Buckingham Palace * 23 July - 3 October 2011

In case your wedding invitation didn't arrive in time, shed no more tears - you can still see THE dress on display in Buckingham Palance throughout this summer and autumn. You can gasp at the French lace made in Caudry, Calais by the House of Sophie Hallette.

And if you are passing through Calais en route for summer holidays this year, don't pass up a visit to the Lace Museum in Caudry. There you can also buy some pretty items like this little naperron for just 3 Euros - it measures 14cm square.

Prêt-à-porter is this mantille for 39 Euros.

A tablecloth (dare you put a tea pot on it?) for 29 Euros.

And this stole is a steal at 39 Euros! To visit the museum's web-site for more information, just click here.
