Identification

Is anyone able to help me identify this lace? I am working on a 1970s vintage wedding dress for someone that is a little too small. I am thinking I might have to remove the sleeves and inset a little more lace into the shoulder area and was hoping to see if anyone can help me identify this particular pattern or design or style, if that's even possible, so I might acquire more. Google Lens shows me more of the same style of dress, but all are far outside our budget considering I only need a small amount.

Alternately, the back of the dress also needs expanding, so I might be able to borrow some of the lace from the back panels to add into the front, but I would need something very similar to replace the back with.

Many thanks.

Can anyone help me authenticate?

Sorry I haven't more photos. Someone is looking to consign this with me or sell it to me, but I'm not really knowledgeable about Burberry other than they are often faked. Is this likely 80s due to the "of London"? I can't seem to find any comps on EBay with the same tag and style. Also, I can't see the name inscribed on the buttons... Is this normal for certain ages?

Before I drive around town, does anyone know if SSI Cheese is sold anywhere locally? I bought this at Thrifty's recently in Port Moody for a whopping $22. I imagine it won't get any cheaper, but on occasion it might be nice to have as a special treat.

I would be open to cheaper local alternatives, but it would need to be really garlicy like this one.

Thanks.
