Above: A Pat Kerr design perfect for a wedding party’s flower girl or a junior bridesmaid, this dress was crafted using insertion and patchwork laces. Pat’s treasury comprises historic laces in a private collection that she preserves intact, as well as a larger assortment—among the largest in the world—filled with pieces she uses for garment construction.
