Lace Up

Misunderstood

For a long time, I feel like lace has gotten a bad rap. It went from being a delicate, luxurious fabric – to cheap stretch lace in the 80′s. Yes, I think we can blame the 80′s ( and maybe Madonna) for ruining the reputation of lace!

Well, lovely lace is making a comeback. It’s a strong fabric for Fall and the Holidays. If done well, it can look so sophisticated and feminine. My favorite is black lace on a nude background. I like how the nude showcases the detail of the lace.

Lace in Color

Some designers are trying to incorporate color into lace. That’s fine, as long as the quality of the lace looks refined. If done poorly, it can look super cheap.
