Using lace as stripes
Let's consider the first, simplest method: stripes. It involves the use of decorated pieces of lace. They can be glued or sewn anywhere on the dress. This method works well when you don't want to bother with a sewing machine, or when you need to cover a small stain on a dress.
Creating transparent openwork inserts
The second method is more complicated. But it looks more elegant and is suitable for more serious repairs of the product.
Here you will need pieces of lace of any configuration (depending on which part you are decorating), color and size. You also need at least some skill with a sewing machine or the ability to work with a needle and thread by hand.
Next we will take a closer look at the use of both methods using examples.
