Description and Details
This narrow ecru English Nottingham lace trim features a graceful openwork scallop design that brings a light, decorative finish to a wide range of projects. At 2 cm/0.78 inches deep, it is narrow enough for delicate edges, perfect for necklines, cuffs, lingerie, doll clothes, heirloom sewing and fine trims, yet substantial enough to show a beautiful lace pattern.
Nottingham lace is woven on specialised looms that produce a crisp, stable weave with fine detail. This lace trim has a soft but structured handle and a timeless aesthetic that integrates effortlessly into both historical and contemporary dressmaking. Because it is sold by the metre in a continuous piece, you can order exactly the length you need for bands, borders and trims without joins.
This narrow lace trim works beautifully on period costumes and heritage projects, adding authenticity and texture. It also suits modern garments and home textiles where a touch of refined detailing is desired. Whether placed at the edge of a cuff, a delicate waist seam, or along a linen hem, the openwork scallops give visual interest and traditional appeal.
