Front Description In the 18th century, Bruges bobbin lace followed the Brussels technique, but with a softer thread, a looser cloth stitch and more numerous half stitch areas. At this time, Bruges specialised in trimmings for church vestments, especially albs and surplices. It was not until the 19th C that the lace of Bruges developed its distinctive features – bold floral form (Bruges flower lace) made in a mixture of cloth stitch and half stitch with no raised work, and a flat outlining gimp.
