Lace

Lace has to be one of the most delicate, feminine articles of clothing there is! What is beautiful about this particular clothing type is that it can be used by any shape of body; you simply need to observe a few pointers!

For instance, black lace over flesh-toned lining is very sexy and attractive—unless you wear it to that interview or unless you wear it too tight! Both spell disaster and misunderstanding by your audience.

Good Combinations!

Lace can range from the very elegant to the casual t-shirt nowadays! There are so many ways you can use it in your wardrobe so….be sure you do!

Oh, and if you have trouble areas on your body, treat it like the fishnet we mentioned earlier! Lace over a lighter color fabric might not be a good choice over hips that are wider than you are comfortable with; try a lace shirt or lace on the hem of your skirt instead!

As you can see with this beautiful formal gown, lace needn’t take over the entire garment! Added in tiny amounts, it can add understated elegance!


This skirt at ‘Tulle Skirt’ is the epitome of femininity!


It can be coupled with an equally elegant silk or lace top with heels or paired with a contrasting denim jacket and boots!


The possibilities are endless!
These two lace shirts are perfect examples of summer-wear!

Each can be used for church once paired with an elegant skirt or can even be a classy twist with a denim skirt and platforms!

Even more casual and even less fussy are the t-shirts with lace fronts, such as we found at Little Lovables!


Definitely a casual item, they lend a bit of style to a 't-shirt and jean skirt' kind of day! Or, to jazz it up a bit, try adding a boyfriend blazer over it with your knee-length denim skirt! Too cute!

However you accessorize it, lace is so feminine, you just can’t go wrong!

SeasonsSeasonal or Non-Seasonal?
Lace is a primarily a winter article, perhaps due to the need for layering. I have for a number of years seen lace being worn in the summer months more often.

My advice would be that you should judge whether it is summer appropriate by the fabric it is coupled with; if it is silk, for instance, it will look gorgeous as the weather turns a bit cooler! If it’s a fun cotton skirt with frills of lace at the hem of two or three tiers, I would throw on a cute denim bolero jacket and head out into the sunshine!

Washing Lace How Do I Care for Lace?

Always hand-wash your lacey items—even bras! Use a detergent that is noted for being gentle on fabrics and refrain from rubbing too roughly. Don’t twist or wring the garment; instead try to squeeze the moisture out gently.

To dry the item, lay it on a drying rack in the shape it should be or if it isn’t a stretchy material, you can hang it. Absolutely, never pop it in the dryer!
