Tutu Plate and Bodice Applique Motifs by the Piece

Embroidered, beaded, and sequined motif appliqués—pre-cut and ready to use.

These decorative lace motifs are sold by the piece, pair, or grouped sets, making it easy to embellish tutu plates, ballet bodices, headpieces, and formal costumes without the time required to cut lace by hand.

Need a more economical option for larger productions?

Many designs are also available by the yard as specialty lace, allowing you to cut multiple motifs and border trims yourself.

Want to see how costume professionals use them?
