Lace has been around for centuries. Pretty and feminine it was used in early 15th century by the westerners to make collars for their dresses and later was added as a trim or a border for most of the dresses. It was handmade and considered very rare and expensive. Even now lace is one the most feminine weaves ever. Lace sarees are the epitome of it.
Lace sarees is India’s way to use that pretty lace and transform it into a sort of wonder. These sarees are so delicate and they make it perfect for formal events especially the evening ones. In the earlier days lace was of lighter colors mostly white and off white. White and off white lace sarees do look great. There are a lot of color options now that have come up to increase our choices of lace sarees.
The best thing about a lace saree is that you can add embellishments to jazz it up. Sequin work and stone work teams up the best with such kind of sarees. Even though the fabric is very fragile it holds this heavy work very well. You can mix lace sarees in such a way that half of it is lace and the other half a slightly heavier fabric if you have concern about the embellishments.
When you wear a full lace saree try sporting an underskirt in a fancy fabric like satin or a shimmery material to add color to the saree. Same goes to the blouse if you are keeping your saree rather plain. Else if you are planning to go with an embellished lace saree with a shimmery under skirt opt for a plain blouse. When you are draping your lace saree take care to drape it as per your body type and comfort.
Summers are an apt season to sport this due to the lightness in the fabric and the fact that it can give you all the drama you need. A lace saree is a must in your wardrobe, and if you do not have one buy it right away!!
