I am making a wedding dress and my future daughter-in-law bought ivory lace appliques with sequins and pearls on them because she couldn't find white ones anywhere. Her dress is white and the organza lace that goes on the organza skirt overlay is white white. I tried bleach but it damaged the sequins. Any ideas? I have searched the internet and could find no white ones either. Help!!
I get my lace appliques from Lace Heaven. they don thave sequins, but, so have beautiful appliques. If I remember the other places I get appliques for lingerie....I will post...
Thanks for the info. I checked their site but didn't have what will match the lace that's already purchased. Thanks for your help tho. I did like the lace and will keep the site bookmarked for future use.
Sheri, You might want to check the company that is dyeing her shoes or maybe the dry cleaners. Bleach can be so harsh and damaging. I remember some one whitening a cream dress. But I don’t remember how she had it done. I know it had some bead work on it. Maybe the beads and sequins has to be removed before hand. Best of luck. And congratulations to your son!
