Re: [lace] Fwd: Modisty panel

2011-12-29 Thread Sue
Thank you Darlene, that thought has been rattling around my head also for a 
couple of days.  I have what might be a suitable top already, so I will try 
it on underneath it to see if it all sits ok, the new grey one is a snug fit 
around the top, so I dont want wrinkles in the camisole underneath.   I am 
considering doing one of these anyway so it will work with other tops (lots 
of them seem to be lower than my really confortable sit.  I dont have the 
ample curves to give it the full glory.

As I read the replies to this question a thought popped into my head. Why 
not purchase a fine knit camisole and add a band of lace across the top. 
Naturally, you could alter the neckline to work with the lace you have 
done.  I think it would sit best with the top in question and could be 
used with other garments as well.

Thank you Alice and everyone, I can see how I can make this work now.

It the lace panel is tacked on 'behind' the opening, the lace can be a 
rectangle that's a tad wider and longer than the opening.  The extra on 
the edges just lies behind the garment edges.  It makes it look like you 
have a lacy chemise under the top.  The commercial modesty panels follow 
this idea so they can show behind any garment with a low opening.  I think 
it would be much easier to make a rectangle than try to fit a shaped 
opening.

Now some proper lace content.   I have another new top, not yet worn, grey
with pattern and a few sequins over the top and the neck line is a tad low 
on

me, so a modisty panel would definately be useful.   Having never yet made
anything that actually had to fit clothing yet I have no idea where to 
start.

Maybe a paper pattern shape drawn with some seam allowed extra?
