Lace, for Maelle, is never the point. It is the punctuation.
A short, cut clean in a matte satin viscose, finished with a narrow strip of lace along the hem. Not flounced. Not layered. A single pass — enough to soften the line where the leg meets the cloth.
Why this, not that
Lace on the waistband draws the eye where it needs none. Lace along the full seam of the leg reads costume. But lace at the hem — held in place by the satin above it — behaves. It follows the movement of the short and stays quiet when the short is still.
That is the rule we hold to: a detail should refine the silhouette, or it does not belong on the garment. The lace on these shorts earns its place. Nothing more.
How we wear them
With the matching camisole. With the short kimono, open. Never alone in a room that isn't your own.
