Need To Know the Proper Name

Hello Ladies and Happy New Year,

I need to know the proper name of the insert or piece that you can make and insert in low neckline dresses or blouses. Is there a place where we can purchase them? I would like to have one for a dress I made. I would like for it to be navy background with multi colored lace. Is that asking to much?

Hey Lee! I'm not sure if it's the proper name, but I call that a 'modesty panel.' Harriet Carter carries one: Modesty Panel

Here's a tutorial for sewing one into your top or dress: Modesty Panel Tutorial

Hope this helps! :o)

I've always called it a modesty panel. There are some sites that carry them, I can't think of the names (doh!) right now, I think....Fabric Mart had some in lace(?).

You may be thinking about the "Cami Bra", Google it and see what you find. You can also put in Cami Lace into Amazon and take a look at how you could make one, here is a picture from Amazon.com
