I'm looking for black eyelet lace or maybe it's called trim... but I need it for a dress that I've commissioned from someone. I'm in the middle of looking for the fabric and lace/trim... If anyone can point me in the direction of a good website that sells it, that would be great... The lace needs to be mostly cotton... if not completely cotton... I would prefer the kind that is on the dress below... if it's hard to see, I'm sorry, I'm trying to find another picture that most closely resembles the lace.

It's on the edges of the vest

Dharma trading has white cotton lace which could be dyed black.

Can you dye white lace? I've seen something similar at places like Hancocks, Jo Annes and such.

Whats funny, is I designed my dress and the other night, i was looking for a blouse to wear underneath it, and I found this... so I'm like... that's hysterical, minus the cape, they are identical... so it will be a replica. I love it! I'm just looking for the lace now...
