What is the difference between guipure and French lace?

Guipure is a raised lace with dense motifs and no mesh background, giving a dress a rich, structured look. French lace is softer and lighter, with delicate patterns on a fine net, and suits a more romantic, understated style.

Why are modest lace dresses lined?

Lace naturally has open areas, so modest designs come with a lining that prevents sheerness and helps the fabric hang neatly. You can also browse our lined dresses for more options.

When should you wear a lace dress?

Nikah and engagement: light colours and all-over lace. Weddings and evening events: guipure in deep or shimmering shades. Family dinners: a dress with lace details on the sleeves or collar. For evening looks, see our guipure lace evening dresses.
