We couldn’t find just the right lace for our romper inset, so we decided to make our own. After tracing a leafy pattern, we cut it out of doubled, stiffened chiffon, and then finished the edges with embroidery floss and a blanket stitch. This is a bit time-consuming, but having a little piece of heirloom couture heaven in your closet might be worth it!

    I like this but I can see it’d be time spent well done.
