Look what happens
when lace leaves the Victorian era behind. Applied to a tank
vest instead of a high-collar blouse, or a
shirtwaist instead of a boned-bodice
gown, the ultimate girlie fabric takes on
a modern twist. Suddenly lace doesn’t just
feel cool. It is cool.
HOW TO WEAR IT
While a diaphanous Chantilly gown is still as lush as satin sheets, keep the seductiveness in check. A drapey T, tablecloth mini, or peekaboo ballet flats give day wear a fresh, graceful edge. Avoid color. Black, white or nude looks richer and more alluring. Whether natural or brushed on, the only color to grace your face should be a faint blush.
