Ladylike Lace

While I am living somewhere where finding the trend and taking part in it is impossible, there are few things that I love more this season than the lady-like lace dress. Lace, previously banished to wedding dresses, undergarments or the bedroom, has made a beautiful resurgence to work, tea, and wedding guests. Championed by the Duchess of Cambridge, and Pippa Middleton (among others), you can add this trend to your day for a range of prices.

So far this trend seems to be stronger on the other side of the Atlantic with H&M UK featuring many lace outfits not available on our websites. However, we can try!
