The Workers aged from 19 to 70 had to wash their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and renew the needles every three hours, to keep them sharp.
这些年龄在19到80虽之间的缝纫工匠们每隔30分钟便会洗手一次,以保持蕾丝花边原有的颜色与形态。同时每三小时便会更换一次针线,目的是保持针头的锋利。
Burton sourced a series of lace motifs some as small as a five pence piece, which had to be applied with minute stitches every two to three millimetres.
设计师Burton所采用的一些蕾丝花边只有五便士的大小,这样的蕾丝图案每分钟只能缝纫两到三厘米。
