Guipure lace is very popular in the Nigerian community and the shops that sell waxed fabrics also carry it. If you are near an area with a significant immigrant community, I would head there to see and feel the quality before opting for online.

I purchased some guipure lace online last year. I was happy with the quality for the price I paid but despite washing two or three times it had a strange chemical smell which I could not get rid of. It was also short a few inches. This is the lace I purchased.

Maybe the smell would disappear over time but I put it away and haven't used it yet. If you are spending a lot it is good to be able to see it first but there was not much on offer when I looked in the retail shops.
