Lace Fabrics

Lace Fabrics are intricate textiles adorned with patterns of open holes that can be crafted either by hand or machine. While these holes can be made by removing threads from an existing woven Fabric, it is more common for them to be an intentional part of the lace design. The art of creating Lace is a centuries-old tradition, and while the exact date of its invention remains unknown, it is believed to have originated in the 15th century and brought to Britain a century later by Protestant refugees escaping the continent.

Lace has enjoyed enduring popularity throughout the years, especially during the 17th century, when it was used to decorate everything from dresses to doorknobs. The Royal Family has long favoured Lace Dressmaking Material in the fashion industry. Queen Elizabeth I is renowned for her extravagant, delicate white lace collars, and more recently, the Lace wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton for McQueen that was worn by Duchess Catherine has inspired numerous imitations.
