2023-03-31

Lace fabric is a decorative fabric usually woven from fabric or thread, which has net-like or lace-like textures and patterns. Commonly found on women's clothing and underwear, lace fabrics can add a beautiful look and texture to garments. Lace fabrics can be made from a variety of different fibers, including natural fibers (such as cotton, silk, and wool) and synthetic fibers (such as nylon, polyester, and elastane). Because the production process of lace fabrics is relatively complicated, and techniques such as hand-weaving or machine-weaving are usually required, its price is usually higher than that of ordinary fabrics. Bleaching Lace Fabric requires special care and caution as improper handling may damage the fabric. Here are some steps you can take to try bleaching lace fabrics:
