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...
Love the pattern and ooh a lace dress. I so wish I had an occasion to wear a lace dress! I'll check back in later to see your finished dress.
ReplyDeleteSew barbie, did you see the lace dress Kate (as in Will and Kate) fame wore yesterday in Ottawa. It was fabulous. This means that you are right on with yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know about Kate's dress Diana, I looked it up, it's very pretty. Great inspiration, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis 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...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment on my jacket
