Vendor Response: We regret that this didn't work for you. We wish we could have given you a couple of tips before having to throw the product away. If there is a next time that you get this slip; the lace is applied by chain stitch, so that you can turn the garment inside out, then pull the thread and all the lace comes off. There are two threads at the seam. One will pull more easily than the other, so pull the one that takes the lace off with a gently tug. The lace layer comes off easily. Diana from W
