The Lace Love Affair...

What does come to mind when you hear the word Lace? Well I don't know for you, but I associate it with elegance, femininity,  something very intricately done and old world. And I am pretty much sure some of those words have crossed your minds too. Aside from those that I have mentioned, Lace is such a timeless  item, it's probably one of those textile pieces that has been used in a thousand and one ways since time immemorial. So here's a little history on how Lace came to be...





Lace is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. The holes can be formed via removal of threads or cloth from a previously woven fabric, but more often open spaces are created as part of the lace fabric. Lace-making is an ancient craft. True lace was not made until the late 15th and early 16th centuries. A true lace is created when a thread is looped, twisted or braided to other threads independently from a backing fabric. Originally linen, silk, gold, or silver threads were used. Now 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.




I grew up seeing my grandmother used Laces when she sews a dress, used them as trimmings in clothes, table cloths and other household decors and I have loved it ever since. There was a time when, if you wear anything with lace will easily make you an object of teasing because some people thought wearing lace is outdated. But thanks to style icons and famous designers who brought back the elegance of lace and the idea of it as one of the most beautiful things man ever invented. Have you seen a full lace wedding gown? They are super adorable right???





Apparels made of Lace can be a little bit costly especially if it is made of silk or linen. But we girls should be grateful that our generation has produced a technology (machine-made) that would enable us to wear lace-adorned or full lace clothing items even if we are not royals or elites in society.




I already have several pieces of clothing made of lace or adorned with lace, although all of them are made from synthetic ones, I don't care a bit. That's because they are the prettiest pieces in my wardrobe and I just cant get enough of them!
