i need to buy half yard of floral embriodered lace in navy blue.
I could not find anywhere - Joanns, amazon, etsy. If i see it, it is coming from far away and taking long delivery time and it is too expensive that too for something that is not 100% to my liking.
I am trying to accomplish this bodice -

I thought of dying, but i am nervous if lace and embriodary both will pick same color or not and will small kids around, i am worried of hot water and fumes. Again i do not see similar fabric in white also so i can dye.
I checked couple online sites also - FWD, zelouf etc
Any suggestions. I do not want sequins bodice.

Good selection of navy laces at Mood
https://www.moodfabrics.com/catalogsearch/result/index?q=navy+lace

Here's a vendor that I've enjoyed the products I've bought: Mary and Martha at Etsy

Navy lace - full width

https://www.etsy.com/listing/615336545/navy-blue-lace-corded-lace-for-bridal?click_key=12eb15b7f0b6c49d94853ae1eb6d55ed393b4e00%3A615336545&click_sum=55ff780f&ga_search_query=navy&ref=shop_items_search_50&sca=1&sts=1

THIS ONE IS TRIM at 9.75 inches width - so not full yardage, but could work for a child bodice

https://www.etsy.com/listing/822128047/navy-blue-chantilly-lace-eyelash-lace?click_key=4523e8972de0ad08a338431143482697cf1c8483%3A822128047&click_sum=2d1c4c7e&ga_search_query=navy&ref=shop_items_search_17&sts=1


AND THIS ONE - 9 inch width

https://www.etsy.com/listing/847353251/navy-blue-stretch-lace-for-lingerie-str?click_key=4b1b7e8533f26c740cc78aecc383b6438fc0a41a%3A847353251&click_sum=974bfbec&ga_search_query=navy%2Blace&ref=shop_items_search_37&sts=1

I would normally say Sposabella, but it appears to be temporarily closed.

It is usually called re-embroidered lace so look up that term for more offerings. There is tons out there. Lace can have different components so can take dye differently in different parts. Just be aware of that. Generally, re-embroidered laces, also known in certain forms as Alencon laces, will cost more than flat laces. I also doubt you will match two different textiles exactly so don't count on that but good luck. It's not the type of thing you sound like spending on to experiment so what every comes out will be what you get as far as dyeing.
re-embroidered laces



ETA: I don't know about now, but at one time JAs carried a bridal assortment by special order in a set of books available upon request at the cutting counters. They had matching laces and satins and taffetas. You may want to ask about that.

I was about to place online order for lace. Then i had to make urgent trip to Joanns. I thought i will buy lace as well even if it is little expensive or not per my liking.
One that was matching was 3d lace was 40$ /yard and not liked enough to spend and rest was different versions of navy but not close enough.
So now I think its will be even bigger risk to buy online.

what are the options and suggestions to have same effect as model's dress in pic. I do not want contrast or sequins, also i looked at Joanns, nothing was matching. I do have matching tulle.
