Broad motif straps with a waist tie: coordinate shoulder drawing and the middle accent

Broad motif straps with a waist tie connect two different scales of drawing here. The shoulder edges have small curved outer forms leading towards the V-shaped front. A narrower band marks the waist and drops into longer ends at the front. The skirt widens beneath. A mirror shows part of the actual back in this picture, but cannot replace a complete relaxed rear view for selecting the garment.

Compare shoulder width without extra neck decoration first. Do you enjoy the larger motif as a frame around the open centre? Decide afterwards whether you also want the narrow waist tie. Both details are visibly connected but answer different design questions. A broader shoulder line beside a quieter middle is another possible preference to investigate through a real candidate.

Test the actual edges with relaxed arms and while reaching. Add a possible necklace afterwards and compare its distance from the motifs. The picture establishes neither composition nor a particular technical lace type. Choose the visible relationship between broader upper frame and finer middle band, with product information checked separately.
