The lace is measured to the right length before making the buttons.
Before making the buttons, the Lace and lining has to be cut with a circle template. If you do 10 buttons, you need to cut 10 lace pieces and the lining into a circle shape according to the template. That is only for 1 top. But the tops come in different sizes. At the end of the day, we begin to suffer hand cramps from cutting such small circles.
Black and white lace cut out into circles. We need to further discern the pattern. So those who are similar are grouped into 1 top/skirt to achiever a coherent look. These black and white lace is for the sultry siren white silk shirt.
Lace buttons are finally completed. These buttons are for the houndstooth check pencil skirt with furry details. If we had used normal buttons, we would have saved an incredible amount of time. But fine touches like these differentiate a mass produced item from a luxurious designer piece that is handmade with time and pride. Some customers cannot tell the difference but those with a discerning eye can. And this better explains why our items are priced as such.
If you are tired of having something which everyone has and want something that is unique and tailor made with pride. Then you will like it here at Fuchsia Lane.
