Precisely sized and arranged, the holes, which have finished edges for a durable hold, create an elaborate design. Typically a floral or geometric pattern, eyelet fabric is often used for summery apparel (think: dresses or blouses) and is typically found in white. But, thanks to its versatility, it can also be found in home decor and a multitude of colors.
