Corded trim is the type of trim featuring a raised pattern outlined with soutache cord. Also known as Alençon lace or point d'Alençon, it is renowned for lush botanical patterns on a fine tulle. Much detailed, it has always been one of the most expensive lace types due to the complex manufacturing process, and is still regarded as a statement of luxury.

Lace Trims
Lace trim is a strip of lace fabric that adorns your dress hem, décolleté, shoulders and sleeves adding feminine accents. At Tissura, it comes in various lace types, such as:
- chantilly,
- corded,
- guipure, and

Essentially, the most common application of this embellishment is a bridal gown, however, it is also applied for the backside, bodice and straps. These trims can be used not only to a dress but also to skirts, jackets, trousers, bags and even shoes!
