This project is quite old, but i’ve never had the opportunity to show it here on the blog, but today is the day! Trench coats are basically very casual items, they fit to everyone and to every “tee+ jeans” outfit; so i thought that lace could bring a bit chic in the daily life. The silhouette is also becoming lighter thanks to the cut out borders, that’s why i still love to wear this piece.
Freshly found in a french shop, this lilac top- remember this post, if it’s true that pastel tones are not my favorite, they’re looking different combined with neutral colors like grey & black…

I have unfortunately no concrete picture of this DIY project, but you can follow these steps;
*you’ll need about 1,50 m ribbon lace (8 cm high), a sewing chalk, scissors, needles, pins, a sewing machine.
-draw regular cut-outs lines on the trench borders, about 10 cm from the bottom hem.
-maintain the lining & the outside material together, and cut onto this line
-place the lace ribbon between the lining and the outside material.
-maintain first the lace with hand stitches, then stitch with the sewing machine by using the “lace” program if you have one.
-finally cut out a bit along the lace, the result will be even more smoothy.
