Hi Julie, In Belgium we use a product called "apprêt feutre", i.e. the liquid that was used to stiffen felt hats. With a soft brush, you apply it on your lace before taking it off the pillow. As it is now already off your pillow, you should fix it onto another base, so it can dry in shape.
One can also use a sugar solution, just sugar in water. But then better wash it out afterwards, as bugs might like to start eating the lace together with the sugar. Anyway, be careful in wet conditions, as it will become limp again. You can't sew just one thread (filament) taken from the inside of an electric wire, around the top edge, and arrange a few supports from base to top at the inside? I wish you good luck! Just let us know how you solved the problem . Last year, I also made my daughters wedding gown myself, but I only had made the covering of the ring pllow in bobbin lace. That was easier.
