Alessandra Rich Lace Dresses: Chantilly, Sequin-Embroidered, Stretch

Lace is the Alessandra Rich evening fabric and the one with the longest red-carpet record: Meryl Streep won her 2012 Golden Globe in a floor-length black Alessandra Rich lace gown, and the house names Chantilly lace as one of its three signature fabrics. Luxury Handbags has 34 Alessandra Rich lace dresses from $2,369 to $8,780, plus lace coats, tops and skirts. This guide sorts them by lace, length and occasion.

Key facts

• Count and price: 34 lace dresses, $2,369 to $8,780, median $4,258; 48 lace pieces in all.
• The laces: Chantilly (a fine net ground with corded motifs), stretch lace, sequin-embroidered lace, lace with a rose, lace trims on collars and cuffs.
• Colours: black above all, then white, red, lavender and nude.
• Lengths: floor-length gowns, midis, slips and minis.
• Fit: fitted through the bodice; a boned lace bustier runs close across the bust, so take the larger size there.

Chantilly lace

The finest of the house laces: a net ground with the motifs outlined in a corded thread, usually black, cut into a halterneck gown, a dress with a collar and buttons, a dress with a peplum, with a split, with ruffles, with a volant collar and bow. These are the black-tie dresses and the ones Luxury Handbags sells to the awards-season customer.

Sequin-embroidered lace

Lace with sequins embroidered over the motifs, in a slip with a ruffle in lavender, a high-neck evening dress in red, a lace mini skirt and the top-of-the-range gown. The light catches the sequins and the lace stays soft; this is the house’s most photographed evening fabric this season.

Stretch lace

Lace knitted with elastane for a close fit: a stretch lace evening dress, a stretch lace midi skirt and a top with crystal hotfix. The lace for a body-conscious cut.

White lace and lace trims

A white lace dress with a rose, white lace coats, silk and lace minis, and the lace trims on the polka-dot collars and cuffs. The white and ivory guide has the bridal-adjacent pieces.

Styling lace

A satin mule, a bare arm, one earring, hair up for a halter. Lace over a nude lining reads as skin in photographs, so check the lining colour on the product page. The evening gowns guide has the floor-length pieces.
