LACE OVERLAYSThanks to Kate Middleton and her stunning Alexander McQueen wedding gown, lace made a huge comeback in 2011 -- and the Fall 2013 collections prove that the lace trend isn't slowing down any time soon. This season, designers featured lace as a layer on top of other fabrics, lending volume and dimension to the gowns.
