Stretch Lace Trim

Stretch Lace Trim by the Metre

Stretch lace trim is a flexible, decorative edging that combines the delicate look of lace with the give of an elastane blend. We sell it by the metre, so you order exactly the length your project needs, whether that's a small trim run or enough for a full production batch. It's a regular pick for lingerie makers, dressmakers and anyone finishing off stretch garments where a rigid trim simply won't move with the fabric. You'll find it used along necklines, hems, waistbands and cuffs, wherever a bit of stretch and a decorative finish are both needed at once.

What Stretch Lace Trim Is Used For

This trim earns its place in a sewing kit because it does two jobs at once: it decorates and it stretches with the garment. Typical applications include:

• Lingerie and bra edges, where the trim needs to move with the body
• Necklines and armholes on jersey or stretch-lining garments
• Waistbands on underwear, dance wear and swimwear
• Hems on skirts, dresses and children's clothing
• Decorative detailing on home textiles like cushion edges or table linen

Because it stretches, you avoid the puckering you'd get from sewing a rigid lace onto a knit or jersey base. Combine it with stretch lining fabric or a soft jersey and the trim moves naturally with the rest of the garment instead of fighting against it.

Widths and Finishes

Stretch lace trim comes in a range of widths, from narrow edging strips to wider decorative bands, so you can match the trim to the visibility you want. Narrower widths work well on cuffs or where the trim is mostly functional; wider trims become a real design feature on a neckline or hem. Colours run from classic white and cream through to black and a handful of accent shades, giving you enough choice to match most projects without overcomplicating the selection.

Ordering by the Metre

All stretch lace trim on the site is sold by the metre, which means no minimum roll purchase and no waste. Order a metre for a sample project or several metres for a production run; the price scales with the length you need. This per-metre system suits both home sewers working on single garments and small businesses cutting the same trim across multiple pieces.

Why Choose This Trim

Beyond the stretch and the decorative finish, there are a few practical reasons this category gets reordered often:

• Wide range of widths and colourways in one place
• Competitive per-metre pricing suited to both hobby and business use
• Fast dispatch from our Tilburg warehouse
• Works alongside other haberdashery basics like sewing threads, ribbons or bias binding for a finished look

If you're building a broader haberdashery order, it's worth checking our range of ribbons or the satin ribbons for contrasting trims, or bias binding for edges where you need a firmer, non-stretch finish instead.

In Short

Stretch lace trim gives you a decorative, elastic edging that holds up on knitwear, lingerie and stretch garments where a standard lace would pull or pucker. With multiple widths, a solid colour range and metre-based ordering, it's a practical addition whether you're making one garment or cutting for a small production run. Browse the full range and pick the width and shade that fits your next project.
