Chantilly lace

Delicate French fabric

Chantilly lace is a delicate bobbin lace characterized by fine floral patterns outlined in heavier thread against a sheer mesh background.

Originally made in Chantilly, France, it became fashionable for veils, wedding gowns, and formal attire: The bride wore a Chantilly lace veil.

The term now applies to machine-made lace imitating this style.
