Pattern rules I follow for lace A-line I reduce sharp curves where lace can pucker I keep neckline shapes simple unless I add stabilizers I avoid too many small panels that create bulky joins I add a little extra ease if lace has low recovery Motif placement and cutting control I decide if motifs must match at center front and side seams I mark nap or direction if lace has a visible grain look I plan scallop edge usage only when repeat is consistent I estimate extra fabric needs for matching to prevent shortages Grading risks and how I control them Bust increase: lace gaping shows faster, so I add support points Armhole: lace can scratch, so I refine armhole depth by size Waist seam: lace bulk grows with size, so I choose cleaner seams A planning table for cost and consistency What are the most common QC problems in lace A-line dresses, and how do I prevent them
