@Kittensposies, what Renegade Sewist said. I’d add that lace also needs careful planning, the more open it is, the more you have to think about seam finishes, etc. Here I have decided to finish the shoulders, pocket bags and side seams as French seams. Had my lining fabric be less thick, I would have done Hong Kong finishes.
When you underline lace, it’s a different story alltogether.
