Singlet/ tank top revamp

First of all, hiHappy

So I've got this tank top with a flowered back. But since I don't really like the flowers anymore, I want to change the back, but I don't know how, because it has been cut and the flowers are sewed on later (see photos). And if I'd remove the flowers I'd have this triangular gap on the back of my top!
Anyone an idea on how to fix it? because I don't really just throw away the top.
thanks Happy

Depends realy on what kind you use. I added some to a dress a couple of years ago just using a standard stitch with a sewing machine and it has stayed put. I think if you used a very delicate lace you would need to be more careful.

There's different ways of sewing it on this website: http://www.homesewingprojects.com/Sewing-with-Lace.html

If you buy something not too delicate I reckon you could just unstitch where the flowers are and insert the lace by stitching over where the previous stich was.
