Black Lace for V-Day

Mu husband bought me some black emboridered lace from Tissu for Valentine's day. He knows how to truly romance me. For our date on Friday night, I stitched the lace motives to the back of a chambray dress that I had made earlier (this could easily be done with a store bought dress as well, but you will have to be super careful around the zipper). I love how it turned out!! The motif pattern is large enough to make a big impact, but isn't super flowery. I've worn this dress about 5 times since then, and received about a million compliments on it.



The black lace is $60.50/yard, and a little accent us just perfect for any outfit!

If you are feeling like you need a new dress for the Valentine season, Tissu has a beautiful Duchess Silk Satin in HOT PINK- nothing makes a better skirt that hot pink duchess satin. 


 
This duchess satin will need an embellishment for sure... the beautiful gold net lace for $68.50/yard will create the most beautiful border on any hot pink skirt or even bridal gown. I personally love this lace-- very soft and light but still dramatic with the gold metallic color.


The variety of lace trims will definitely suit as well for any border or hem detail!
