I bought this dress and while I was trying it on it ripped at the shoulder (the shoulder fabric is like lace) I really want to wear it. How do I fix it and make it look new?

Well it depends on where exactly the rip is! It would be helpful if you had a picture!

You can try sewing how you do normal fabric but honestly there is no way to sew it back the way it was or make it look perfect. Lace is more complicated than regular fabric.

Well you'd probably want to hand sew it. Cause a machine would be way to rough on it. I would put it together how its supposed to look. Then pin it, and sew it. Lace is difficult to sew. But if you take your time it should together very nicely!
