This type of work is impossible to go unnoticed, and that is because the laces are all handmade and extremely delicate. The style is well known in the northeast, since regions such as Pernambuco have famous and skilled lace makers. The work is of Portuguese origin and with colonization came to the country.
The extremely delicate and tasteful work has already been part of the fashion runways with pieces of the famous Spanish stylist Martha Medeiros. One of the pieces shown was this long and delicately colored model, which highlights the craftsmanship and meticulous lace work that makes up the entire piece.
The type of lace does not have to be limited to the softest colors. Actress Flávia Alessandra opted for a red peplum style model. To highlight the needlepoint stitches, she opted to use a nude lining that gives prominence to the piece and dispenses with any other enhancement in the look.
Another celebrity who has already resorted to the lace model was the celebrity Mariana Rios. The actress, composer and singer chose lace to compose a party look with a model with a long dress in pink. The composition with tulle transparencies on the bust takes away the childish side of the pink dress, and gives it a sensual womanly touch.
guipir
Originating from the French word guipure, and with the pronunciation of guipir, this type of lace is also known as gripir or gripier. So, if you hear either of these pronunciations, know that they are acceptable. But back to the topic of this style of embroidery, this version is characterized by being made of linen or silk and with small reliefs, which look like overlapping embroidery.
The delicate lace pattern is easily used in more sophisticated versions of pieces, or even in daytime models, like this dress. Here, the openings between the embroideries are formed by a lining of the same color and guarantee a delicate and feminine piece.
A neat suggestion to adopt the use of guipir lace are the white models, as the pieces have a feminine look. Besides being beautiful for daytime and New Year's look, the pieces remain a great inspiration for civilian wedding dresses, as the short models make the look elegant, but less formal.
