Description

From the book: "Mrs. Montague was a Lady of the Chamber to Queen Elizabeth I of England. She made stockings for the Queen in this pattern, said to have been copied from a French design. A pair of these stockings still exists today in the museum at Hatfield House. Ladies, wouldn't it be fun to wear a dress or sweater made in the same lace pattern as Queen Bess's stockings?"
