This lace from Italy has a gorgeous look and coloration---much more wonderful in real life! It's a mixture of gold metallic and cream which blend to create a beautiful champagne-like coloration with a bit of sparkle, and the design is a lovely stylized basketweave pattern. Better for liquid, drapey styles: anything from a dress to top to tunic to gown. It has a good amount of stretch in the width only, with great recovery. Beautiful quality, well-priced and perfect for a special occasion. Dry cleaning recommended, or if you wish to try washing at home please test first.
