The first time and only time I have worn this top, so far I tucked my hand
made lace hanky but found that lace on its own didn't lay well and as I
moved about so did it so what I am doing with this piece is to attach it to
the top so it stays there. I believe that it will wash well, folded into
one of those little net bags and then hung up and just tweeked with my
fingers or a little bit of a press as my napkins do which have been in
occasional use in the last over three years.
As the lace is not very wide or deep I think it would not lay nicely on its
own and with just a couple of loops and buttons or other and I would spend
all the time checking it or trying to get it to sit right.
Thank you for all your input everyone, it is interesting to see what others
do or would consider.

in damp dull Dorset today, waiting for the window broken by a workman using
a strimmer to be replaced soon, please, so I can see to work better again,

Hi Sue and spiders,
Do you want to use this modesty panel for this top only? What about
washing? I would rather make two -strong- loops with buttons at the top at
either end so that I could fasten that around my bra straps. That way it
can be washed separately and can be used under other garments as well.
Looking forward to seeing a picture of it.
Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK
