Create This Look – Scalloped Lace – Royal
Good Morning! This week I was inspired by the “Bedecked In Deco Top” from ModCloth. I am excited to show you how to combine both our scalloped lace and our new-ish 2 Tone Chiffons. Unfortunately ModCloth is again sold out of this particular top. I apologize, this seems to be happening a lot lately. Most of the time I pull the pictures in advance, & they end up selling out before I have a chance write up the post. 🙁
The pattern I chose to recreate this look, is S1614 by Simplicity. It has several nice options, however I recommend using View B. This pattern is perfect to make this top because the shirt is already divided into two sections. Most of the other patterns I came across were just one piece.
I chose 3 different fabrics to create this top. The first is a pretty royal blue scalloped lace, for the top half of the shirt. This portion of our inspiration look is unlined, but you could line it if you wanted. The nice thing about this scalloped lace is that it doesn’t fray. The neckline and armholes will have to be hemmed, but you won’t have to hem the edge of the yolk before you attach it to the bottom half of the shirt.
The second fabric I chose, is our Royal Blue 2 Tone Chiffon. I posted a look a couple of weeks ago, using 2 Tone Chiffon, but incase you missed it:
Our lightweight polyester chiffon uses 2 different colored threads woven in opposite directions to create a beautiful shimmery iridescent effect. This chiffon sells very well in our store, so I’ve decided to share it with our online customers as well. Many customers purchase this chiffon for weddings & special event decor. It makes beautiful swags, table decorations & backdrops, in addition to many other apparel & home decor applications.
The third fabric is a Royal Blue Poly/Cotton to line the bottom half of the top. As I mentioned above, you could also line the entire top if you wish. It might make it easier to work with the lace.
Here’s another combination you could try. From left to right: Scalloped Lace – Coral (9SCLAC-002) \ Poly/Cotton – White (PCOT-002) \ 2Tone Chiffon – Paris Pink (CHF2T-031)
