Alençon Lace Fabric - Parchment

This corded Alençon lace fabric features exquisitely detailed floral motifs on a delicate tulle backing, with raised corded outlines (cordonnet) adding texture and dimension. The rich parchment cream shade, with subtle pale golden champagne undertones, creates a soft, luxurious finish perfect for bridal and special-occasion garments.

With scalloped edges along both selvedges, this lace is ideal for overlays, sheer sleeves, trims, and appliqués, allowing for precise placement and elegant design details. Its fine, needle-made craftsmanship ensures a delicate yet durable fabric suitable for the most refined projects.

Alençon lace, often called the “Queen of Lace”, originates from 17th-century France and is recognised for its intricate needlework. Known for its raised floral motifs on a sheer mesh ground, it is a favourite for high-end bridal wear, veils, and luxury apparel.
