Instructions

1. 

   Lay your top flat, with the side seams at the very edges. Use the top as a template to cut the lace – leave a little extra on the sides to allow sewing space. If the top is on the cropped side (mine is) cut the bottom edge a little lower. I used four extra rows of the lace detail.

2. 

   Hand-stitch the lace to your top. Stitch along the top and into the side seams. It will definitely be easier if your top doesn’t have a stretch to it.

3. 

   Embellish with a few beads if you are feeling like it needs a little extra sparkle.

4. 

   Trim away any excess lace and wear your new creation
