I am sewing my wedding dress, I am using Butterick B4131. My fashion fabric is satin and I am doing lace over it.
I need some tips to make sure that this comes out well. I am more concerned about the top. The skirt will be easy.
Get hold of Susan Khalje's book, Bridal Couture -- there's an excellent chapter in there on working with laces, either as applique or as shaped sections. Or check her article in Threads, #88, April/May 2000.
Without knowing the type of lace or how you intend to apply or use it, I can only suggest getting hold of some very lightweight thread -- silk would be my choice as it practically disappears -- and using that as you're zigzagging or hand sewing the lace sections. I'd suggest Tire Silk 100Plus or Tire 50 wt:
