Okay, now What?

So I purchased some of this cotton lace (58 inches wide, $6/yard!) and now I’m at a loss as to what to finish with it. It seems sunny … in a Sophia Loren kind of way. I’ve never been much good at Sophia-Lorening, so any alternate ideas of What To finish with Black Cotton lace would be much appreciated.

Other things I’m not good at, sartorially, in case you need a list:

the long boho dress with flat sandals and flat hair

any look that requires a David-Bowie/Grace-Jones slash of colored makeup across the face (it gets all over my glasses)

shiny satin cocktail dresses with diamante clips

and, of course, pants

I can see a kind of kicky 60s-shift swimsuit coverup (with patch pockets!), but considering I’d probably get much more use out of a hazmat suit, I’m searching for other ideas …
