Traditional Alençon lace (it originated in Alençon, France) was extremely labor-intensive, with the lace maker working one loop at a time. Our version is manufactured on a traditional machine using a special process, so its maximum piece length is under three meters. Each motif is outlined in a thicker cord, lending Alençon a sensual, three-dimensional feel.
At first glance, Alençon is difficult to distinguish from corded lace. The difference lies in how they are made. Where corded lace is essentially embroidered tulle, the delicate motifs of Alençon lace are actually woven in using a complex Jacquard technique.
Alençon lace is a perfect match for wedding and bridal fashions; with its richly detailed design it adds a level of luxury to any gown. Use it as the full outer shell with an under layer of satin, silk serge, , dupioni, duchesse, or taffeta. Or feature it on the bodice, sleeves, in applique, or as a detail on a veil or hat. It is also an elegant touch for a formal gown, cocktail dress, or dressy clutch.
Care
Hand wash this lace only at 30°C. Handle very gently, do not squeeze or wring dry. Do not machine dry. Hang or lay flat to dry. Iron on the lowest setting (synthetics).
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.

As young women in Regency England swooned over Mr. Darcy, what were their counterparts on the Continent up to? Both sides of the Channel saw the rise of a middle-class esthetic, demure and practical. Gone were the arch tastes of Empire fashion.
