Lace Fabric
Fabric Glossary
Lace is a delicate, openwork fabric made by looping, twisting, or knitting threads into intricate patterns. Traditionally crafted from cotton, silk, or linen, modern lace is often made with synthetic fibres for added durability and affordability.

Lace is commonly used for bridal gowns, evening wear, lingerie, blouses, veils, trims, and decorative home items like curtains and table runners. Lace fabric is perfect for adding a touch of romance or sophistication to clothing and décor, offering beauty and intricacy—though it requires careful handling.
