Lace Fabric

Lace fabric at TradeUNO — cotton lace and lace grounds at 58 inches (1.47 m), sold by the metre and in bulk.

Lace is openwork by construction: the pattern and the holes are made together, so there is no solid ground behind the design. That is what makes it decorative in a single layer and why it is almost always used over a lining or against skin.

At 58 inches these are full-width lace goods rather than trims — wide enough to cut a bodice or a full sleeve without piecing. Lace has a direction and often a scalloped edge worth planning into the hem. Per-metre prices are listed on each product page.
