Hi there, I'm trying to make a dress that has a bit of lace in it. Are there any free sites that provide free lace textures, or can anyone give me a copy? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Runtime DNA has some free seamless/tilable photoshop brushes, and a plethora of other goodies, including, I believe, just straight lace textures.

Registering for RDNA is fully encouraged by me, because it's not a lot to ask of you to get the really awesome freebies they have there, but if you REALLY don't want to...

Thanks for the link! Even if I was not the one asking, I really love it.

To add to Nikki's good advice, I'll say that I have practically exhausted my Google resources looking for this kind of thing. Some sites offer better stuff than others -- Poser resources work well (careful of copyright issues) as do some of the better fabric sites.

However, the problems I've encountered with these samples have led me inexorably back to a tool I already have -- an HP flatbed scanner. I can purchase fabric scraps at local outlets for only a few cents, then scan them into textures. I can even put contrasting backgrounds on them (black construction paper behind white lace, for example) so as to make it easier to select the background and make it transparent.

That's much easier than the mess I went through with a small piece of lace last week, which not only had a low-contrast set of colors but turns out to have been a really bad resolution.
