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.

Let me know what you guys think. As always comments are very welcome!

1940's Dress Complete

After a lot of ups and downs I finally got the dress competed in time for the ball. I was literally hemming it a few hours before we had to leave! Nothing like stressing yourself out with massive time restraints! Here are a few photos of my husband Chris and I at the ball.

The WWII ball was so much fun, Chris and I had a blast. Got to do lots of swing dancing and saw lots of cool retro shows. It really did feel like we had stepped back in time - a magical night and I can't wait until next year already!
