With origins dating back to the sixteenth century, lace reemerged as a fashion trend in 2014, and not only is the trend still hanging on, it looks to be gaining momentum in 2016. Once regarded as a textile for the affluent, lace is now accessible to all in a multitude of patterns and presentations. Look for lace in all facets of fashion, from head to toe, pony tail to pumps.
Lace is often associated with the bridal market, with this year’s brides choosing a variety of lace in their gowns and accessories.

For brides wanting to add just a touch of the trend, they will find many options in headpieces, sashes, jewelry and shoes.
