157 W. 35th St., Ground fl. M-F 10-7 212.268.8373

BEST PLACE TO GET LACE VOILE

They feature lace, head ties, fine brocades, Bazin, English Wax, and Hol- landais Wax. Like most stores on 35th St., they carry lace voile, not regular lace, so keep that in mind as you are browsing 35th Street. Cedar is a beautiful store and we highly recommend it. And when it comes to lace, we’re not easy to please.

Voile: A light, plain-weave, sheer fabric of cotton, rayon, silk, or wool used especially for making dresses and curtains.

BEST LACE

Walk in and be prepared to be speech- less. If lace had a heaven, this would be it. You can find laces in colors, patterns, and beaded in ways that you didn’t know existed. And nothing looks cheap, which is the thing that impressed us the most. But then again, it is all imported from Italy and France and one yard of this beaded delight will cost you no less than $250! Start saving up now. They say they have been rated the best lace store in the country and you can understand why – this place is abso- lutely incredible.

BEST BRIDAL

You can be assured that their product is top quality and fabulous. The added bonus is that the owner is so nice and helpful. Who doesn’t need a little attention from someone like that once in a while? See the bridal section for more on Sposabella.
