POINT D'ESPRIT


God, I love it!!!!!!!!! Regaining popularity lately, Point d'esprit aka Dotted Swiss is probably as old as any lace or weave there is out there. It was first made on looms in Switzerland circa 1750.  As a weave or lace, it's made up entirely of evenly spaced dots.  As a heavy weave dotted swiss is typically cotton.  On fine mesh or tulle it is commonly known as Point d'esprit.  Also lovely on veils and netting for hats....

Because I am not a huge fan of dots, i am going to have to remain slightly resistant about this trend. Thanks for taking the time to drop by :) Happy Friday!
