Ivory and Lace
On to my next design. This dress has a princess seam bodice and a half circle skirt. The whole dress is overlayed with an ivory flower lace. The main fabric is a cotton and polyester blend, which has the benefit of not wrinkling and is the perfect weight for this design. I have lined the dress with a rayon bemberg lining that breathes beautifully and feel soft against the skin.

Its been a while!
Sorry its been a busy year for me. Moving house and in the process of building one. In a rental at the moment which is turning into a nightmare due to the absolutely crazy landlord. He has taken us to court to try and evict us for nothing! But that is a whole other story!
Luckily I have still managed to pull together a few new designs for my Etsy shop this summer. I am working on more and will post more details as soon as I have the photos ready!
Here is the first one. I love elegant tea length dresses that can be dressed up or just worn day to day. I used floral ivory lace for the bodice and and striking blue chiffon for the skirt. The skirt is underlined with a rayon lining and the bodice with a soft cotton. The bodice has princess seams, which creates a great fitted look.
Other designs to follow soon.
