Italian designer black floral applique mesh lace

From Italian designer deadstock, this black mesh lace has a wonderful floral motif and is stable in both directions. The floral applique design, which has a pretty satiny sheen, has a 6" repeat and is 52" wide, leaving an approximately 3" border of mesh along each selvage. We have photographed this on a white background to show contrast. This lovely fabric is sheer and drapey, although the applique gives it some body. It is best as an overlay for an evening wear top, tunic, dress, skirt, etc. Hand wash and lay flat to dry (please test first).
