Clever? Or crazycakes?

I think I just figured out a good way to get pretty sections of lace to applique onto the okay-but-not-great satin lapels of the frock coats I get from ChicStar: Old bras.

I have four of the exact same bra that no longer fit me. The wide lace bands that are the decorative part of the cups are in great condition, they just need to be removed from the bras. And I can use the scalloped-edged elastic from the straps to make dress clips!

So I guess tonight will be spent with some tiny scissors, dismantling things. I'll report back on how this goes.

That is both creativity and frugality!!

it sounds clever to me. It will remain to be seen how it works out ultimately, but I am betting your instincts are dead-on.
