lace shawl

Delicate shoulder drape

A lace shawl is a lightweight wrap or covering for the shoulders made from delicate openwork fabric, typically knitted or crocheted in intricate patterns.

Lace shawls range from everyday accessories to heirloom pieces requiring months of skilled handwork: She draped a lace shawl over her wedding dress.

The Shetland Islands are famous for gossamer-fine lace shawls that can pass through a wedding ring.
