Shin from Park & Cube does some killer DIY's which I refer to regularly. They are great because they usually require minimum outlay for maximum diy fun. Here is her recent ribbon bodysuit. I am not a major lace and floral ribbons girl but the technique could work just as well using a black bodysuit and chains or a blue bodysuit and ropes (for a nautical look). You could even put the pins on the underside of the fabric or do away with pins altogether and do little stitches if you wanted. Great Technique.
