Handmade white lace trimming from Sylvia Kho’s collection

This handmade lace trimming is from the collection of Sylvia Kho who was a prominent bridal couturier in Singapore from the 1950s to 1990s. She designed and custom-made wedding gowns using elaborate laces imported from Europe. She travelled extensively to France and USA to learn how wedding gowns were designed and made. She also became one of the greatest buyers of wedding gown lace in France. This lace trimming would have been used on details of the gowns such as on the sleeves or the collar.
