sewing grumblies: good lace vs. bad lace

For me, the most important thing is using lace good for a project, which like, a lot of lolita/mori/dollykei people seem to fuck up on. 

Good lace:
-not itchy
-polyblend or natural fiber
-often times netting, tatting, embroidery, faggoting, crocheted, cluny, eyelet, or venice lace.

Bad lace:
-itchy
-looks like plastic
-makes your project look like a sissy toddler pageant bullshit factory. 

-usually raschel lace, though sometime raschel lace can be made at a good quality, most raschel lace is very poor quality and should be avoided. If it comes on a roll for 1$ at michaels, it's probably grods cheap raschel lace, and hardly even suitable for scrap booking, much less clothing.

Sometimes if you use some lower quality lace, it's ok it's less than an inch wide, or used on same color arrangements. Always avoid using lace on any hem line that directly touches the skin!!! It will be itchy and you will hate yourself.

Example: This. Cheap lace+ your skin= bad! Nobody likes itchy, scratchy lace all up against their bare skin.

You can find good lace online for the same price that you can get cheap lace at a craft store. Search etsy in the supplies section, tons of cheap asian laces for less than 1$ per yard, and all of them are good quality! Try ebay or just google up lace whole sale. If it looks cheap- it's cheap. If it looks nice but has a low price tag- thank heavens for whole salers online. You don't have to pay a lot for good lace! I personally have bought tons of nice lace at garage sales and thrifts store for dollars.

Just please, don't use cheap gross itchy lace.
