Wholesale Lace for Lingerie, Dresses and Textiles

Lace – the fine detail that elevates a product

Lace is an openwork textile in which the motif is formed by the yarns themselves and the open spaces between them. It turns a plain edge into a decorative finish and gives the product a refined, feminine or romantic character. Lace is used in lingerie, nightwear, dresses and blouses, bridal and formalwear, childrenswear and home textiles – curtains, tablecloths and bed linen.

Polkom, a manufacturer and wholesaler of garment accessories, supplies lace to clothing and lingerie manufacturers, ateliers, bridal boutiques and distributors across the EU – both for bulk production and for boutique and designer collections.

Types of lace

• knitted (Raschel) lace – light and economical, suitable for bulk lingerie and clothing;
• stretch lace – contains elastic yarns, used for lingerie edges, swimwear and close-fitting garments;
• embroidered lace – a motif embroidered onto tulle or fabric, with a raised, luxurious look;
• guipure – dense motifs joined without a mesh ground, for dresses and bridalwear;
• cotton lace – natural look and soft handle, for childrenswear and home textiles.

Widths and motifs

Lace is available as narrow trims of a few millimetres for edges and borders, medium bands for necklines, cuffs and hems, and wide lace for bibs, inserts and whole panels. Motifs range from classic florals to geometric and minimalist designs. Some laces have a scalloped edge on one or both sides, so they can be sewn on directly as a finish without a hem.

Lace in bulk production

In bulk sewing, the lace must have the same motif, width and colour in every batch so that the products look identical. That is why, for repeat orders, we work from the approved sample and article number. In your enquiry, also state how the lace will be applied – sewn along the edge, as an insert or as an appliqué – so we can suggest the right width and edge type.

Colours

The most popular colours are white, ecru, ivory, black and nude tones, especially for lingerie and bridalwear. For collections with a specific palette, lace can be dyed to match the fabric – to Pantone or to a sample. Minimum quantities for a special colour depend on the article – send an enquiry.

Tips for choosing lace

For close-fitting garments and lingerie, choose stretch lace that follows the body's movement. For dresses and bridalwear, choose embroidered lace or guipure with a denser motif. For childrenswear and home textiles, cotton lace is more pleasant against the skin and withstands more frequent washing. If the lace will be combined with ribbons or elastics, see also our satin ribbons and knitted elastic for lingerie.
