- Mark the position and width of each lace panel. Confirm alignment at the shoulder, sleeve and body rather than relying only on the overall silhouette.
- Discuss the lace edge and the connection to the body fabric. Openness, handfeel and visible seam appearance should be assessed on the actual material and sample.
- Confirm how lace changes affect sleeve volume and measurements. A different lace width or material may require a different sample plan.
