A traditional Estonian lace border stitch with its beautiful looped edge has been adapted for this stylish bolero. An unusual one-piece construction allows the lace to remain flat with the right side always showing. Pretty little buttons that fit through the holes in the lace eliminates the need for buttonholes.

This pattern is part of the Louet North America Colinton 2015 Collection.
