Can anyone tell me what type of lace this is and the age?

This lace garment has a raised cording on it that is stitched on to the base. It buttons at the waist. The grosgrain waist band is hand-stitched. The rolled edges are also hand-stitched. It feels very old and has a good weight. I was thinking early 1900s or later?
I have been looking at so many lace images on the web that I am going crazy.
Raised lace, cord lace, spanish point lace?? Is it machine lace with hand applique cording?
Am I at all on the right track..? Any information would be extremely appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,
Jenny

Very pretty! Hard to tell for sure from just a photo, but it does not appear to be antique. The general look and materials look perhaps 1930s. But that is just a guess on my part.

It is a re-embroidered lace, which is in the Alencon lace family. It appears to be, as you guessed, a machine made lace with hand applied cording. The trim looks like silk crepe.

Thank you Barbara,
At first I thought it was 30s/40s era. I've had it for a long time, and recently trying to figure it out.
I started to feel it was older after spending some time with it and holding it, but maybe it isn't. Happy to figure out the lace!
Thanks for your information.
