Lace inserts

Lace can help mask small traces of time. This is a very interesting solution for lovers of Gothic and romantic styles:

• Complementing the plain coat with beautiful, bright lace, the image will become more original and sharper.
• Depending on your wishes, the location of the lace may be different. For example, stepping back from the edge of about 3 cm, with the help of small stitches along the entire length of the hem, sew on both sides a wide ribbon of lace, hiding its ends in the inner side of the product. Similarly, place two other lace pieces on the sleeves so that one edge overlaps the other in the area of ​​the side seam.
