You Will Need (4 things)
-
A plain white top – sleeveless is easiest. Look for linen or cotton. You don’t want the top to be stretch
-
Scissors, thread and needle
-
Some beautiful lace - about 50cm
-
Small pearl beads
Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

1
Lay your top flat, with the side seams at the very edges.
Use the top as a template to cut the lace – leave a little extra on the sides to allow sewing space. If the top is on the cropped side (mine is) cut the bottom edge a little lower. I used four extra rows of the lace detail. -
2
Hand-stitch the lace to your top. Stitch along the top and into the side seams. It will definitely be easier if your top doesn’t have a stretch to it.

Embellish with a few beads if you are feeling like it needs a little extra sparkle.
