I recently used Emery lace for the first time and I am pleasantly surprised with high much I loved the effect of this lace. I knew it would be dramatic, but the softness of the lace and the subtle details within such a bold design, has actually created one of the prettiest dresses I have every made.
Add in a soft blue silk behind the lace made the floral design pop so well and the variance in sizing of the flowers, did mean that I could carefully cut the lace to position the flowers across the bodice, without cutting into the design too much.
The one element of the design that really struck me though is the drape. The softness of this lace and the way it flows surprised me due to the oversized size of the flowers. I thought this would add a stiffness to the lace, but it really doesn't. I am adding this to one of my top laces and I am currently creating a new stock design that uses this lace, very excited!
