Patterned openwork fabric (4)

I believe the answer is:

lace

(Other definitions for lace that I've seen before include "Fine decorative fabric" , "Delicate open-web fabric" , "Fortify with spirits; open fabric" , "Fabric made in openwork design" , "Tear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
