Gems on Lace Restore Gown.

For the restoration of an evening gown, so that it may do duty during the summer dancing season, sew gems upon the lace. Laces when cleaned frequently suffer most In the elaborate gown. They are fragile and reach the repair point while the gown is still good. Then it is that glass gems or large beads come into requisition as beautlflers as well as patches. Used discreetly they will cover most successfully any small darn or rent, and will at the same time enrich and often recolor the garment This adding of a new touch to the half-worn article of apparel is frequently truCr economy than the rebuilding of a garment, with new materials which usually attain almost the price of a new gown.
