| What it is | Lace is a patterned open cloth. Motif, ground, and edge all change how it is cut. | See the net fabric notes, not a synonym swap. |
| Feel | Soft or crisp. Motif areas feel thicker than the ground. | Judge the peer on its own sample. |
| Mass | Usually light, but corded lace can feel substantial. | Do not copy a GSM from one family to the other. |
| Typical use | Dresses, overlays, lingerie, and trims. | Match the peer to its own end use. |
| Watch-out | Motif matching, fragile grounds, and poor opacity. | The peer has its own limits. Read them. |
Does every lace fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Lace is a patterned open cloth. Motif, ground, and edge all change how it is cut. Name fibre, motif scale, ground (net or embroidered), and whether it has a scallop edge.
Can you skip sampling lace fabric?
Lay a sample over lining. Check motif repeat across a seam.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword lace fabric?
Fibre, motif, ground, width, and edge type. Ignoring motif repeat and scallop direction in marker making.
