<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">shoestring</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lace that I've seen before include "Delicate open-web fabric" , "Spike - ornamental fabric" , "Shoe tie" , "A fabric; add alcohol to" , "Flimsy fabric or shoe fasterner" .)
