Lace types I use most in production Cord lace: raised outlines, clear texture, premium look Chantilly-style lace: fine, delicate, often needs full support Guipure lace: heavier, no net base, strong visual impact Stretch lace: better comfort, but needs recovery control Cotton lace: breathable, more casual and less bridal Lace mesh: lighter cost, but can look cheap if pattern is small What I check before I approve lace yardage Hand feel: I rub on inner arm to detect itch risk Stretch: I test stretch in width and length, and rebound Snag risk: I do a simple ring and nail snag check Pattern repeat: I confirm if cutting will create mismatched motifs Color depth: I compare lace + lining color under flash light A simple lace selection matrix I use How should I structure and line a lace A-line dress for a clean fit
