Lace is a decorative openwork textile made without the use of pre-existing fabric. Lace can be made by hand or machine.

Lace can also be used to refer to other types of openwork fabric such as cutwork or filet, which use pre-existing fabric.

Veil

A veil is an article of clothing or hanging cloth that is intended to cover some part of the head or face, or an object of some significance. Veiling has a long history in European, Asian, and African societies. The practice has been prominent in different forms in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The practice of veiling is especially associated with women and sacred objects, though in some cultures, it is men, rather than women, who are expected to wear a veil. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in some modern secular contexts, such as wedding customs.
