On a coarse mesh ground (square mesh), sown with 'paillettes', a running pattern stands. One-sidedly directed hanging tulips spring from stretched shells that have the shape of breaking waves. The strip is composed of five parts sewn together and is additionally doubled with another wider strip with a similar pattern that is sewn along the straight top edge. Valenciennes lace.
