What is lace fabric?
Lace fabric is a type of delicate, lightweight open-weave fabric that is typically made from cotton, linen, or silk.
This fabric is characterized by decorative patterns formed by the intersection of threads, and often by scalloped or floral edges.
Today, lace fabric can be found in a wide variety of modern styles and designs. There are many different types of lace now available for brides that incorporate different textures, motifs, and colors.
Some popular options include lace overlays on solid lace or tulle bases or lace adornments on plain wedding gowns.
Whether traditional and understated or contemporary and bold, lace continues to be the perfect choice for bridal wear and other formal occasions.
