Lovely in lace
| Q | My mum loves lace and wants to incorporate it into her dress. Do you have any suggestions of how we can do this without making her look old-fashioned? |
| A | Coryn Emma says: Lace is a beautiful and luxurious fabric to wear, however it often gets a bad rep as 'dowdy' or 'old fashioned', but this is not necessarily the case as they say: 'It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it.' My suggestion would be to go for a delicate Chantilly lace, which is soft and looks beautiful on sleeves or an overlay on a strapless pencil dress. Heavier lace fabrics can be overbearing for ladies over 50, especially in pasty shades. With heavy fabrics, opt for a brighter hue to lift your mum's complexion. Accessories are key to adding a modern take on this timeless fabric. Steer clear of pearls and instead go for gold or silver-plated statement pieces, which will create a more contemporary finish and will not snag the delicate fabric. |
