Vogue 8723 Muslin

I have a joyous wedding to attend and need something new to wear.  I wanted to make something a bit different for me.  I usually wear tailored pants and jackets or straight skirts, now this; a lace dress with a full skirt.  I just love the neckline on this design, straight across the upper chest gives a retro feel, yet the skirt is just full enough to look modern.  I picked up this wonderful lace while in N.Y. at Mood Fabric, everyone is very helpful there.  This particular pattern has different bodice pieces for cup sizes A-D, I usually have quite a bit of fitting to do, but with this pattern, I just need a few tweaks and we're good to go!  Well almost...

  4. This is going to look so lovely! I love lace with a passion, and lace over a contrasting lining is a beautiful way to show it off...
