Few details change a gown as quickly as lace trim. Run along a sleeve, a neckline, a waist seam or a hemline, a narrow band of lace resets the whole look of the dress. Inter Tex supplies lace trim at wholesale from $1 per metre, alongside the wider range of bridal fabrics.
What Is Lace Trim? How It Differs from Lace by the Metre
Lace trim is narrow lace (5–50 cm wide), finished along both edges and ready to apply straight onto the dress. Lace by the metre (130–150 cm wide) is cut into panels; trim is used as an edging, an insert or a border.
Types of Lace Trim at Inter Tex
1. Chantilly Lace Trim
A fine hexagonal net ground with floral motifs and a scalloped edge on one or both sides. Suits necklines, hemlines and sleeves. Widths: 5–30 cm. Price: $2–8/m.
2. Macramé Lace Trim
A hand-made look, built from knots and geometric plaiting. A natural fit for boho gowns. Widths: 3–20 cm. Price: $1.5–6/m.
3. Elastic Lace Trim
Elastane is woven in, so the band stretches without losing its shape. Made for corsetry, lingerie and fitted gowns. Widths: 3–15 cm. Price: $1–4/m.
4. Corded Lace Trim
The outline is reinforced with a heavier cord along the edges or through the floral motifs, which gives a subtle raised relief. Price: $3–10/m.
5. Sequinned Lace Trim
Paillettes or sequins applied over the lace ground, for evening gowns and for glamour detailing. Price: $4–12/m.
How Is Lace Trim Used on a Dress?
On the sleeves
A band of 8–15 cm applied along the edge of long sleeves, or set in as a shoulder insert. Chantilly reads romantic; macramé reads boho.
At the waist
A 5–10 cm band at the waistline, drawing attention to the silhouette. The corded version adds extra structure.
At the neckline
A scalloped Chantilly trim along the neckline edge — a clean finish without complicated seaming.
At the hemline
A wide band (20–50 cm) along the hem or the train — a dramatic effect that turns a plain gown into a statement one.
Workroom tip: buy 10–15% more trim than the length you intend to cover, to allow for the curves at the neckline, waist and hem. On trim with a scalloped edge, align the edges before stitching for a clean finish.
