    It depends on the type of lace and how big the tear is.  If it's the type of lace that was sewn onto a tulle base, you could get away sewing in a small piece of tulle under neath the tear and make the stiches look like they are part of the lace.I would take it to a seamstress and see what they can do with it.  They will know how to best handle the situation.

    I'm sure a seamstress would be able to fix it or at least tell you if you should just buy new lace. If you need to buy new lace, you won't have a problem finding all kinds of lace at good prices at the downtown garment district.
