  Step 1

  this is the before and after transformation! pretty cool for a 20 minutes work, uh?

• 

  Step 2

  * get enough lace to match the circumference of the hem line of your top + about 4"
  (add a little extra if the lace has some large designs, so you'll be able to match the pattern on the sides)
  * the lace has to be wide enough for the extra length you'll need to add to your top, plus an extra 1" or 1-1/2"

• 

  Step 3

  * in my case, the lace was much wider, so I cut the extra width to meet my needs

• 

  Step 4

  * pin the lace under the hem of the shirt, just about over the double top-stitching of the hem.
  Leave an extra 1" on each side

• 

  Step 5

  * cut the lace following the pattern on the lace on each end
  * overlap the extra 1" on the sides, pin and sew.

• 

  Step 6

  * sew over the top-stitching on the from and the back, leaving about 1/2" near the sides un-sewn
  * use some fray-check on the trimming of the lace, just to be sure that it won't unravel.
