You don't have to keep this pretty fabric under wraps, team with toning or contrasting stretch jersey, stretch velour or soft-touch jersey/interlock to create pretty tops, tunics, dresses and skirts with inset lace details. Good places to add lace inserts & details are; sleeves, yokes, side panels, back details, lace godets on skirt hems. Alternatively construct whole garments (tops, skirts and dresses) in lace and create modest underslips/garments/linings in silky soft-touch jersey.
