[> Subject: if you are making small to medium flowers you can use the 10 x6 ones if you are making the large and extra large flowers (about 4" across) you will want to use the 13 x 7.8 and if you are making the itty biddy ones i think they use the 5 x 2.5 i have some of the 10 x 6 and the 13 x 7.8 if you need some i will sell at a great price. you will need 6 for the medium and 8 for large so just figure how many flowers

if there is enough boning in the back and sides, it shouldn't bunch. just remove the zipper and either use metal grommets or make loopholes on each side 1.5 to 2 inches apart. then just lace it up. if there isn't enough boning in the back, you will have to find some way to insert boning either by stitching it in or if there is too many decorations on the back, then you will need to hand sew it to the inside. just buy the kind of boning that has a sleeve so you can sew it in and insert the boning. hope this helps :+)

Let me save you some headache....
Don't buy the cheap stuff on ebay if you plan on using it for a dress. It's great for crafts and decorating, but not dress quality.
Joann's Fabric - I don't personally like the polyester organza, but with a 40% off coupon, it's not a bad deal

I've been buying mine lately from Formal Pageant Fabrics (Miss Nancy) on ebay. She has the great colors, good shipping prices and sends it quick. I have been buying from her bc she sends the nylon organza from Oriole Textile that seems to be the best quality I've used.

Good luck, please post if you find anything. :)

Not sewing related, but you ladies are so helpful so I thought I would try.

My daughter has lice ughh! We just did a pageant & found it today. I'm not sure if it is from a child at the pageant, school, or plane. I'm not sure if I can treat her wiglet without messing it up.

Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks:)

I would not ever treat the wiglet with lice treatment. If it does have lice in it, which I truly dont think that it does, you can boil it in water if it is real hair. If it is not natural real hair then you will be fine. Lice do not live off the hair they live off the blood in the scalp. I would put the wiglet in an air tight container for a week or two without opening or using the wiglet and they will not live without the air or blood to feed off.

Seems there was a little girl in her class who's Mom didn't really care and she came home with it every few weeks for the whole school year. First thing you should definately want to do is inform the school nurse. She will start inspecting the kids and hopefully irradicate it from the school. If that's where it emminated from. And the poison that is used in lice shampoo is very damaging to the hair, not to mention outrageously expensive when you have to treat the whole house and family! The school nurse told me the best and safest way to treat lice is to give a mayonaise conditioner to her hair once a week. The mayo super conditions the hair and kills the adult lice by smothering them. You still have to pick the nits out though. Try it, it will save you money and hassle. HTH!

When my daughter was young...my daughter had lice three or 4 times in one school year. The school she attended had about a 1/2 semester of a Lice issue. Her hair was done to her tailbone. We were told besides using the lice shampoo (and very important picking out the nits)on her personally. Was to launder everything that could be including linens/pillows etc. What couldn't be wet, she suggested (including stuffed animals) to put into a hot dryer. What couldn't be laundered, shampooed or heat dryed...Put in a tight plastic bag or bin, for two weeks.

Even though the lice need blood to survive they can live for a little while in hats, headrests, linens, combs, stuffed animals. I believe they also have a lice spray...which is what I used on the stuffed animals before placing into a plastic bag.

If the wiglet can't be washed or dried, definetly put into a plastic container as suggested earlier for a couple weeks. (If for someone reason the lice were able to lay eggs in the wiglet), pick out with your hand gently as to not harm the hair on the wiglet, and maybe do a warm rinse with water after being stored) You wouldnt want a stylist finding any dead lice or eggs.

I don't know if there is a particular right or wrong way but I do it one of two ways depending on my mood and the particular mix of stones I am using. I tend to use all the same color stones in a broach. I find solids much more forgiving.

I lay a length of wax paper on a flat surface and play with the stones until I know the basic pattern I want. Usually I put a blob of E6000 down, let it set up a little, press my center stone into the center of the blob then start building out around the big stone adding small amounts of glue as I go. I normally use navettes or pears to fan out from underneath the big stone so I can tuck one pointed end underneath the beveled edge of the stone before it. Take your time and let the new glue set up so the stones don't slip and slide too much. Toothpicks work well for nudging the stones into place.

Sometimes I turn the big stone upside down on the wax paper, squeeze a little glue on it's back and start fanning the other stones around, all upside down. Repeating until the base is done then finish off with a good overall coat of glue. This way makes the front of the broach all flat and even.

Either way you do it......RESIST the urge to pull the wax paper off the broach before the next day and even then you may want to just turn the whole thing over and let it dry a little more before peeling the paper away.

If you want a pin, glue it on the finished project. I find it works better to put the pin nearer the top of the broach so it hangs straight rather than flopping down. Good luck

Ahh, the big debate - to sew or to glue. If I'm being paid well for a dress then I sew most of the appliques and glue ribbons and other trims that need to stay perfectly straight. If I'm trying to get as pretty a dress as I can but don't have much money to invest in my time then I glue and go on. I have found that most moms couldn't care less and would rather have their money invested in flash than in good workmanship that ends up hidden or glued over with stones anyway.

Thought this would be a good place to ask. I have been a seamstress for 10 + yrs. Things have been been really slow the past 2 yrs at Haggar so I started making wedding and flower girl dresses. A friend of mine suggested I try to make pageant dresses. I made a dress and I think it turned out great. I would like some opinions on what you all think about it. Also what do pageant moms look for when looking for a seamstess? What things do you stay away from? What is the best way to build my clientel as noone would know who I am right now? Being new how do I build trust? What should my pricing be? The dress I made is about size 4-6 fully glitzed out and the materials cost 786. It took about 26 hours of work to make the dress. Im sure as I get more into the business I could find places to get the materials I need in bulk for a greater savings. Any thoughts you might have on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Renee

I know materials can add up, but that seems a bit high. What fabric did you use for bodice and skirt. Long or Short dress? When you say glitz, how many stones and what sizes. A picture would really help.
Times are really tough even for big named designers right now. It takes perseverance, and keeping your word. Stay to promised delivery dates. Promised materials. If you provide good work, the reputation will build slowly but surely.

I think your losing your money in the stones. Try looking on ebay. That's where I buy my stones from and I don't pay a fraction of that. Try looking for US sellers to avoid import fees. Also check sellers with multiple items that way you can save with combined shipping. Hope this helps!

I agree that there is way too much money tied up in the rhinestones. There are a few places to get fair priced stones, especially when you buy in bulk 10 gross packs. I would also limit the number of fancy stones to help control the cost as well. Typically when I stone an average dress, I use about 10 gross of stones, 6 large brooch stones and maybe 1 gross of fancy pears, marquis, cubes, disco balls, etc. The fancy stones are nice up close, but from the judges table, many are lost in the pattern. Of course you can do anything that the customer requires, but I find that the money spent on a lot of fancy stones just adds to the cost. However, if the customer is willing to pay extra for it, extra stones and a lot of fancy shapes can always be done. Good luck to you!

BEWARE of buying anything from Christy Merchant!!! I ordered a custom dress from her the first week January to be worn in May and got it the day of the pageant in such a mess that it had to be returned. She had promised the dress at the end of March.... then kept putting me off and refused to send any pictures of the "progress" she was making. When it did arrive the hem was so wavy there were 4-5 inches difference in places, lining showed under the hem, it wasn't even close to the right size, edges were unfinished and raveling, she sent pictures of the dress with fabric pinned on and then took the fabric off and tried to cover it up with appliques, fabric was wadded up and sewn into the waistband.... It is STILL a mess, although I gave her an opportunity to correct it. It was slapped together in such a way that I would have been ashamed to tell people I made it! The bodice has material basted on with stitches that are an inch and a half long, the bottom edge is serged instead of being hemmed properly and looks horrible, the fabric is twisted where it shouldn't be, material was supposed to be gathered and it was just wadded up and sewn down, the ruffle for one panel of the skirt was too short so instead of making a longer one, she just wadded the panel up to fit the ruffle and it looks awful, dress still has edges that are unfinished and raveling out, there is a hole in the chiffon on the back of the bodice, one side of the bodice is cut straight and the other is rounded when they should be the same, instead of cutting the boning down like she should have, she tried to cut around it so now IF the dress could be worn, the boning pokes up into my child's armpits.... I could go on all day about that mess! Not only that, but she did NOT return all 18 yards of the fabric that I sent her.... and it was not even close to 18 yards of fabric that she used in the dress! I had the fabric measured, and she kept about 1/2 of the silk fabric that I sent her!!! $605 PLUS FABRIC for a dress that my child can't wear! AND NONE of that cost was for stones, stonework, decoration, etc - it was a basic dress, although I did get some poor quality appliques with my purchase. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!
Christy, why don't you tell people why you had to CLOSE your ebay store and start a NEW ebay account? Tell them about your feedback, about all those people you did wrong, about all the paypal and ebay complaints filed.... it wasn't just ME, it was many others you did wrong.
IF ANYONE WANTS PICTURES OF THE MESS SHE SENT ME, JUST EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE THEM! I am having someone try to make the skirt wearable, but I am having to have another bodice made just so all that money isn't wasted on the mess she sent me!

I wonder how far back the board is archived. Because there have been warnings on this subject before. If you go to her website, a few of the dresses look great, but if you look closely, the ruffles on most of her skirts lie inside each other in a way that would never cut it for nationals. She has been making dresses a long time and apparently has not figured out how to rectify that, and people have criticized that for years. She also uses the Lord's word in her ads hawking pageantwear. I could see if she were selling communion veils or something... but taking scripture in vain to make a profit, well, it speaks volumes.

you typed"the bottom edge is serged instead of being hemmed properly and looks horrible" that is how most make them when I started making dresses I used to hem mine too but not now because you just cover it up with lace and it's much easyer to sew though 2 layers of ss and one layer of lace thank 4 layers of ss and 1 layer of lace it also lays better on the skirt I am truly sorry you had such a time with this lady but I just wanted to let you know for some of us "dress makers" this is how we do it please go post to everyboard you know about her I will give you a list aslong as my arm

my biggest question is did she give you any money back?????

No - she was asked to finish the edges because she knew I didn't like a lot of appliques, and she was told that I would not be putting many of the appliques back on. She KNEW what she was supposed to do, but IF that edge was the worst problem with the dress, I could have lived with that. Sadly, it's probably one of the more minor issues.

Forgot to answer your question. I got exactly NOTHING back from the $605 I paid her, nor did she pay me for the material she stole by not sending the remainder back to me, nor did she pay me for the material that she ruined by not making the skirt the right length the first time. SO, if you see a dress or anything else that she's made from a floral/butterfly silk burnout fabric, it's made from STOLEN fabric.

UPDATE - Today I received in the mail some more "scraps" of my fabric from Christy, but she supposedly returned all my fabric with my dress. Hmmm... well, scraps aren't going to cut it, especially since I've been contacted by someone who she was going to make a dress for FROM my fabric......
Christy, just put it in the mail!!!! Or you can buy it from me - the cost is $605. Fabric or a money order please!

Sadly, I didn't buy through an ebay auction, and paypal won't refund after 45 days.... by the time I got the dress, returned it, and got the "corrected" (and I use that jokingly) version, it was too late to get a refund - she knew what she was doing when she ripped me off. Guess that's because she's done it so often. CON ARTIST!!!!
Christy, why did you get a new ebay id? What happened to your ebay store? How about all those people who gave you negative feedback and filed paypal and ebay complaints? Did you screw them the same way you did me? Hope that money is worth it when you have to explain your LIES and THIEVERY at judgement day!!! Those scriptures you post tricking people into thinking you are a Christian aren't just words! You'll answer for what you are doing!

Can someone point me to a legitimate pageant discussion board? I am new to the pageant world and would love to learn from others through discussion. Everything that I have found so far has been nothing more than banners and advertisement. Is there a board where active discussions about pageants are going on?

Thanks for tolerating my off topic question!

Does anyone have an inexpensive long crowning dress in a girls size 8. I have a niece that will be competing in a natural pageant. (I won't have time to make one for her), and she was going to wear a junior bridesmaids dress that she is wearing for a wedding the week after the pageant..but it's not pageant at all. It's a greecian style /plain flat jersey knit (nice style for the wedding, but not a good choice for the pageant). They are on a very tight budget...so my thought was to find a crowning dress...I might beable to spruce up a bit. She is 10 but the height of an 8 year old and the width of a 4 year old. Tiny skinny little thing. Please e-mail pix and price lisaj@citlink.net

I made a cupcake skirt 11" long. Layers look great, hemming looks great, when I put it on my daughter, it's flat looking. I put two built in slips, one has 2 rows of ruffles and the other has 1 row of ruffles. It's just not standing up like I see others. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong. It has an elastic waistband. Again, everything looks great, it's just flat. How do I fix it. Thanks in advance.

Are you saying I need 3 - 4 layers on each? Thanks for the two of you that answered me. If you can answer this I might figure it out. Thanks again

I use 6 yrds of material. I cut my 4" strips from all 6 yds on both edges so you actually get 12 yds. I use 4 full layers of organza. Then I use 6 yds on 2 different layers of tight gathered ruffles or a total of 6 layers. Mine come out full. You also have to watch that your curls from the fishline do not lay inside each other. This will cause a flat look as well. Hope that helps!

Now, I'm more confused, lol
O.k. I understand all but the layers part. How many layers of gathered ruffles are on each slip part. Or are you saying, If I have three slip parts (the shorter part that the ruffles go on) should I only have 1 row of super tight gathered ruffles? I guess my question is this. First, how many shorter layers do I want? Then how many super tight rows of ruffles do I want on each. I think this will make me understand better, or at least I hope! Thanks to everyone gave suggestions?

Can you send a pix? I can help more, If I know exactly what your referring to as being flat. Did you do a southern skirt or cupcake style? Does the top layer have enough gathering (fullness). Is the skirt not standing up (like a cupcake) or are is fishline hem not curling enough. Is it really flat or do you mean it's not "puffy" enough? A pix would really help. lisaj@citlink.net

Hey Ladies, I am looking for a really good dress maker. I want a really good strong bodice and a good cupcake style skirt. My daughters current dress is made by a big designer that I love but I know they dont technically "make" the dress, just decorate it. I want to cut out the middle man, just put the expense where it goes.
So who can do it?? I do not want anyone that does not put a good amount of boning (spelling) in it or a really good skirt. Ive seen some that "buckle out" when on and too flimsy like, thats why Im not going to ebay.
Send me examples and prices please. I am wanting a good dress and babydoll dress made. I have lots of clothes to be made (smile).
Thanks.

Got a question. I am decorating a dress. I want to use different stones, however I'm not sure what to order. I'd like to get the tear drop ones, but don't know what size, also the round ones, don't know size or proper name, not the 20ss or 16 ss crystal ab, they may be called navettes? I'm not sure.
But could someone list the proper names and sizes I should be ordering for a pageant dress, I guess the most common sizes. Thanks in advance

I use Gem Tac or Jewel Glue by Delta. I have never had an issue with either one. No heavy fumes...easy clean-up, and if you get a spot you didn't want on a dress...if you hurry you can wash/dilute with water (depending on fabric used).

I've had to woolite (Hand wash) a bodice, and the glue held just fine.

if so, i doubt you will be able to get it out now.
if not, first try to soak the spot in white vinegar and then throw it in the washer with detergent and 1 cup of vinegar. if that doesn't work, take lemon juice and salt and make a paste and scrub with a toothbrush and rewash. don't dry in the dryer until you are sure the stain is gone. HTH

take a piece of paper and cut out the shape of one petal. make sure that it has a long enough base to be able to connect all 5 petals together at the bottoms. this will be your petal template. then cut 5 petals out of superstretch. make them just a small amount larger than your petal pattern because you need room to overlap the wire. take floral wire and bend it into the leaf pattern shape. run a bead of glue (hot glue or e-6000) over the wire and sit onto the center of the superstretch petal. then run another bead of glue on top of the wire and fold over your superstretch to cover the wire. after the glue dries, bend it slightly so it makes a petal shape. connect all 5 petals, put a stone in the center to cover seams and stone edges. i hope i didn't confuse you....i'm not so good at giving directions LOL

Hello Ladies,

Was just wondering if anyone had time to make me 3 babydoll dresses for flowergirl dresses. My sister is getting married, and I thought how cute my 3 babies would look in babydoll style dresses! I would usually make them myself, but I do not have time (I need them in 3 weeks, LOL!). Anyway, if anyone is interested, shot me an e-mail. If not, I will have to suck it up and make them myself, LOL. The sizes would be 2T, 3T, and 5. They need to be halter style, plain white.

I need like four of the swirls? I don't really want to go with ebay because some want to charge you more to ship the item than you actually paid for it to begin with. I use to work at the post office I know its doesn't cost that much to send something at its weight.

I only need the the swirl base no stonework they are for a natural gown.

I used them to decorate for sportswears and talent outfits. A variety of sizes, black and white, bootie and regular. Most are split sole. You can save them to use for outfits or resell them!

Start by sitting down and listing every expense you can think of for a pageant - from the postage for mailouts to the crowns. Don't leave anything out and force yourself to consider all the incidentals expenses such as the gas you will use running around and buying gifts. Force yourself to be honest about the price of things, the true quantity needed, and a realistic number of contestants for your first pageant.

Divide the total projected expense by 60% of the number of contestants you projected and that is the MINIMUM you can charge for entry fees. If that looks doable then ask yourself where the money will come from to pay all the upfront fees. Very few people will pay deposits until the last minute. Remember that not every contestant will enter all events unless you have a flat rate pageant.

Plan every last detail on paper before you spend one penny or make any sort of public announcement......and the hardest part - grow some very thick skin! Good luck!

What works on one person might look orange or reddish on another. I do tanning, and have several solutions that I use, some go golden, some are reddish, etc. It really all depends on your base skin color. If you get a tan that you like it's always good to ask the technician what brand and shade number that you used. That way you can keep reference of it.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

also, have you tried to remove it yet? If nothing has been applied to it, I would say test an inconspicuous area with a shout wipe, dabbing gently. Typically the only thing that a tan stain is, is the bronzer and the bronzer is normally fairly easy to remove, unless it's been set in by prior cleaning attempts.

Cool tones really doesn't make a difference. AB (in my opinion) just looks better and sparkles more. Try Amythst ab too or even light amythst ab. The hues really stand out and look great! You could even offset the stoning by combining amythst crystal with the abs for a good contrast. The variety in color adds "texture". HTH! I've never stoned a dress that didn't score perfect 10s;)

I have been successful at getting tanning stains off of white silk, superstretch, and chiffon using the Tide Bleach pen. I bought a white dress from a fellow ebayer and thought it was ruined when it arrived (nothing was mentioned in the listing about tanning stains) until I tried this and found that it worked!

I have the fabric and I tried to do it myself but I can't get it right. Can anyone sew just a basic one piece swimwear shell that can be turned into a lace up back?

I have purple spandex type material but a bit thicker (I wanted it to hold in her belly) and I have a stretch mesh that I want to be over it if that makes sense.

I can mail out the fabric including thread, elastic, and material tomorrow and would like the swimwear back within two weeks so I can add the ruffles before the pageant. If anyone can do this for a reasonable price please email me. Remember this is just the basic shell for a swimwear, the only thing different is a piece of mesh material that will be on top of the spandex.

I have been thinking of offering dyed super stretch in colors of my chiffons and organza's that I carry in my store.
I would dye the colors to match and offer a container of the pre mixed dye so the buyer could dye their laces and such. Also they would be able to purchase the amount of chiffon or organza that they need. Think this would be something that you would be interested in?

Hello Ladies,

I am looking for turqoise Superstretch and matching organza that this seamstress uses. I purchased a shell fromm Janet Leigh Designs and I need additional superstretch and organza, to a do a panty cover and bows/accessories. I tried reaching her through ebay, but no answer yet, and I running close to a deadline. I only need 3/4 yard of the superstretch and 1/2 yard of the organza. But I will purchase 1 yard of each, if no one has some left over pieces I can purchase. Here is a reference of the color: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110369078669&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

I still haven't had a response from ebay to reach JanetLeigh Designs, to buy extra material. Has anyone else purchased from her recently? Or does anyone else have this turquois color. When I bought the apple barrel to dye some trim pieces it was just called Turqoise, even though in the photo it looks a little more vibrant. Any help would be appreciated.

Contact me for pictures of the CUSTOM MADE MESS she sent to me! NOT WEARABLE!!!! I was trying to save a little $ and used her, but in the end, I should have paid the little extra to a better dressmaker and HONEST PERSON - at least I would have a wearable dress and not a heap of scrap!
Christy where is the rest of my material?!?!?! I really need it to try to fix the mess you sent!
Before you order from this DECEIVER - ask her why she no longer has an ebay store - ask her why she had to get a new ebay ID - ask her about all the people she conned and ripped off!!!! BUT DON'T EXPECT HER TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!

Hey Angela, my best friend ordered a bodice from her last year. It took Christy 4 months to get it to her. My friend had to contact the local police department, sherrif's office, etc. Paypal said she had waited too long to file a claim. Christy never sent her pictures of the bodice and ignored most of her emails. Finally, my friend got the bodice in and it was not good. She hasnt' worn it or taken it out of the box she got it in. I too, had a bad experience with her as well years ago. I have ordered recently and received my items quickly, but they were just dress decorations, not an entire dress. I hope she sends the rest of your material and makes this right. So sorry you had to go through this, because my friend still talks about her bad experience. Take Care!

I've heard SO many stories about her ripping people off since I posted this, and it's just outrageous. I think we should all get together and file lawsuits. It might not be worth it for ONE person to file a lawsuit over a $600 dress, but if we all band together, hire ONE attorney to prosecute, then maybe we can stop this once and for all. If anyone else is interested contact me and I'll see what options we have. I don't think there is a statute of limitations on this.

HEAR THAT CHRISTY?!?!?! Maybe you better start sending out fabric and refunds.... I know you see these even though you don't respond.... People are fed up. It's time for you to stop ripping people off. Get a new career - other than being a con artist. This one is going to land you in a heap of trouble!

I found a gorgeous shell on ebay that I want to get for my little girl. I am just scared I will mess it up. Does anyone have a suggestion on someone I can pay to decorate it? I don't want to much glitz since she is only going to be 19 months old when she wears it. It is for a state pageant in October. Thanks ladies!!

And as for all the inquireries for custom swimsuits........ I'm sorry but I just cannot take custom orders at this time. I can't guarantee that I'd be able to meet any deadlines. I still have my brother to care for (the one that had the stroke in Jan) and transport back and forth to rehab. And now I also have my daughter to take to physical therapy too. So you can just about imagine how my days are. Fortunaletly I do find a few minutes to sew at night and a few minutes on some days. I need to do this! It is MY THERAPY! So I will be listing swimsuits as time permits but am unavailable to do custom work. I really hope that all this will change, I just can't see it happening any time soon. So just keep checking for new suits, you never know, I just may make something that you like!!

I carry a stretch white satin that dyes really well. I think it is because there is lycra in it that keeps it from streaking. Also polyester instead of the acetate that most satin is made from. If interested you can contact me. Price is $10.50 per yard and is 52" wide.

I'm getting ready to make another skirt, anyone else have these problems or know of a fix?

I am in need of a kelly green cupcake skirt. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. I was even looking at the ones from China (which would work fine for my needs) but there's no green. Honestly, to get one made, how much should it cost? Is this something an experienced sewer can just whip up?

Whenever possible you should order your fabric/trims in those colors, but some have had luck using procion dyes.

Rit dye comes in red and black so you'd think that it's possible with those as well. I never really tried given the testimony of others. But I have heard that using several boxes of red will achieve brighter colors.

Procion dyes are fiber reactive dyes-- they are for natural fibers only-- cotton, linen, rayon, silk. Any color you get from them on a synthetic is just staining.

To color synthetic trims red, I would thin the right shade of red acrylic paint with a little water, paint on with a brush, repeat.

I just finished dying lace red for a dress I'm making. It turned out great.
I bought primary red craft paint at Hobby Lobby.
Mixed it with a small amount of water, enough to make it thin enough to coat without globing up on the lace. Put the lace in the paint, squeezed it out and laid out on several thicknesses of paper towel. For those of you that have a no tumble on your dryer or a rack that stabilizes in the dryer this works best. Keeps the lace from touching the drum of the dryer. Dried for about 30 minutes on high and it turned out great. No streaks at all. The reason no streaks is the paint is so concentrated. Hope this helps.

After dipping in the paint, I squeezed it out and laid on layers of paper towel on a rack that fits into my dryer. It lets the drum tumble around the rack. Dry on hot for however long it takes to dry. I did turn the lace over once so both sides would dry. Hope this helps you
If you don't have a rack for your dryer, just use lots of paper towel to soak up the residue and dry lace and towels together. Be sure to clean your dryer afterward. I have learned to put in a few wet paper towel after I dry something and that will help clean any excess dye from the drum
