EYELET
Eyelet is a cool, comfortable summer favorite. The word eyelet comes from the old French word “oeillet” meaning “little eye.” Eyelet cutwork was used as early as the 1500’s. It gained popularity in the Victorian Era when women chose eyelet for their undergarments. Eyelet is also used as a cheaper alternative to lace. On a celebrity note, Actress Brigitte Bardot wore a pink eyelet wedding gown in the late 1950’s for one of her nine weddings during her lifetime. Today, eyelet is a popular summer fabric for sun dresses, shirts and trims.
