What is a fancy salwaar kameez without any decoration? There are several ways in which a simple piece of cloth is converted into an object of envy. Some options available are lace work, embroidery, sequence work, stone work, and so on. One or more of these can be used to make a salwaar kameez really attractive.

One of the cheap and best materials to use is the lace. The lace is an intricately woven thread that is woven by hand or by machine in a pattern. This pattern may be flowery, geometric, vines and any other pattern. Besides the most common as well as popular cotton thread as a material, cheaper versions comprise of synthetic cloth cut in between to produce the pattern.

This versatile material can be used in a variety of ways to enhance the beauty of the salwaar kameez. Let us see some of the various types of laces that can be used to decorate a salwaar kameez, and some ideas for using them.

Laces come in broad and narrow sizes, and the length is not a restriction, as it is generally available in rolls that can be cut according to requirement. They also come in varied colors, and you can pick up a lace as per the color of the suit on which it is to be put. Depending on the design of the suit, the color chosen may be matching, or in contrast to the base color of the suit.

Besides colored laces, most laces come in white, and can be dyed as per requirement. Generally tailors who design the suit will get the lace dyed for you, or you can get it dyed and give the lace of your choice to the designer. Readymade salwaar kameez, of course, save you the bother, and you can simply pick the design and pattern that you like.
