I believe the answer is:

lace

'delicate fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lace that I've seen before include "Fortify with spirits; open fabric" , "A fabric; add alcohol to" , "Shoe tie" , "Spike - ornamental fabric" , "Shoestring: delicate ornamental fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Star Tribune and the USA Today.
