Description and Details
Discover an authentic, deep Nottingham guipure lace with an intricate frothy floral pattern, accentuated by raised gimp threads and a pretty scalloped edge. This English Nottingham guipure measures 9cm (3.25 inches) deep and is woven to couture standards from 95% cotton and 5% nylon. It is sold by the metre in a continuous length, offering ample material for long hems, overlays and statement trims without joins.
Key features and benefits:
• Width: 9cm / 3.25 inches, ideal for dramatic hems, full overlays, flounces and statement bodice trims.
• Construction: guipure style with raised gimp threads that give depth and a sculptural, three dimensional effect.
• Edge: pretty scalloped finish offers an elegant border ready for visible hems and veil edges.
• Provenance: UK-made by the last remaining Nottingham lace mill, a nine-generation maker with couture and royal clients.
Sewing and care guidance:
Sew with a fine sharps or universal needle and use small pins or fabric clips to avoid distorting the lace. For machine application, a fine zigzag or narrow straight stitch secures the guipure without flattening the gimp. Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cool water, reshape and dry flat. Iron on the reverse at a warm setting. Avoid bleach and strong detergents to preserve natural fibre texture.

Available in Black, Off-white, Ecru and White. Perfect for bridal gowns, veils, couture overlays, christening gowns, historic costume and high end home projects that require a bold, textured lace border.
