There are several methods of making lace, but the two most common are hand lace and machine lace.- Hand lace : This method, used since the 16th century, is one of the oldest. Lacemakers meticulously weave the thread to create intricate designs, often on a tulle or cotton backing. The art of hand lacemaking is a form of embroidery in which each stitch is carefully made, sometimes over several days.

Since the 19th century, Calais has been at the heart of lace production, thanks in particular to the invention of the lace machine by John Leavers in 1830. This innovation made it possible to produce quality lace while meeting the growing demand. Today, Calais continues to play a key role in lace manufacture, with companies exporting their products all over the world.

What is guipure lace?
La guipure lace is a type of lace characterised by openwork patterns and decorative elements that appear to float on the background fabric. Unlike other types of lace where the supporting thread is visible, guipure lace is distinguished by the absence of a transparent background. It is made using thick threads and can be very ornamental. Guipure is ideal for fashion creations that require a fabric that is both stiff and ornate, such as wedding dresses, evening gowns and lingerie.5. What type of lace should I choose for my creations?

There are several varieties of lace, each with its own unique characteristics.- Cotton lace : Cotton lace is very popular for summer or bohemian creations, and is light, comfortable and natural-looking. It is ideal for lace dresses and lightweight garments, but also for accessories such as scarves and tops. It is also, but more rarely, used in the manufacture of lingerie.
- Lace by the metre : If you're looking for lace to use for sewing projects, metre lace is an excellent choice, whether in braid or wide width. It's available in a wide range of patterns and colours, so you can personalise your creations to your taste. Whether for a lace dress or for a lingerie more sophisticated, lace by the metre offers great flexibility.
- Bohemian lace : Bohemian lace, which is often more relaxed and airy, is ideal for creations inspired by the bohemian style, such as the lace dresses or ethnic-inspired accessories.
