Delicate or dramatic: it all depends on what you wear with it.
Lace plus something plain
A solid tank, knit or satin camisole. Lace next to another print gets busy fast.
Stitched in the air
Needle lace was developed in sixteenth-century Venice. Burano's lace later trimmed collars at courts across Europe.
Flats and a jacket
A fitted tank, a crisp shirt or a fine knit, with loafers or sneakers. Check sheer lace in daylight.
Lace and satin
A satin camisole, a pointed heel, one color family. Let the lace be the only detail.
