DIY Tutprial: Altered Clothing Project: Upcycled Black and Olive Lace Dress with Sequin Ribbon and Black and Gold Trim Thread

This project is all about lace, ribbon, and sequin. Beauty is all in the detail. I took this lace dress and added sequin floral beaded detailing to the shoulders. The result was beautiful. Then I wrapped gold threaded black ribbon around the side of each strap to hide the ends.
