Lace fabric is, by all accounts, lovely. Lovely to touch, lovely to look at, lovely to wear.
Lace is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern, made by machine or hand. Originally linen, silk, gold or silver threads were used to make lace. Today lace is often made with cotton thread, although linen and silk threads are still available. Manufactured lace may be made of synthetic fiber. A few modern artists make lace with a fine copper or silver wire instead of thread.
The word lace is from Middle English, from Old French ‘las’, from Latin ‘laqueus’. The late 16th century marked the rapid development of lace, both needle lace and bobbin lace became dominant in fashion, as well as home décor. Lace garments look dainty and feminine, whether your choice is a lace dress, skirt, pants, blazer, belt, purse, jacket or pantsuit. I’ve seen lace high heels that are so gorgeous they knock your socks (or hose) off!

Although lace clothing looks dressy in all colors, I feel lace clothing stands out in both white and black. White lace clothing gives off a vibe of sweet, doll like, dainty and innocent. Black clothing emits a vibe of sexy, chic, classy and sophisticated.
Whatever your lace clothing color choice may be, dress in lace and feel glammed up and dressed to the nines…you’ll see.
