There is often a problem with the color of a lace.  If it is white it looks dressy or it doesn't match the fabric.  Here is a jacket (Bias Jacket)  that has white lace I painted to match the fabric.  Since there were many colors to work with I just kept applying it with all the colors of Dye-n-Flow paint by Jaquard.  Some of them I mixed to get a deeper tone.  This is a very watery dye type paint that will work with natural or synthetics.  Watch the video's on how I did it.
