Really, thence good. Oftentimes this dress is will be fantastic! This is will be a KNOCKOUT of a dress!
Susan Khalje’s workshop to make a lace dress. There was muslin used as the underlayer sandwiched between lace/silk and actual lining. It was a beautiful dress with substance. Loads of info can be found easily by going on the web. It looks beautiful so far! This can be the perfect dress for your blackish tie event! Also, never having the heart to part with it’s been hanging unworn in a closet for close to 5 years. It came with the original petticoat pinned inside, and the only tag reads Chantilly Lace. Made in France. Your link provided a bit more info as to its origins. Anyway, thanks!
Just wanted to let you know what we liked your tutorial so much that we posted a link from the McCall’s Patterns facebook page.
Please we will know when Part 2 is posted so we can add another link. Thanks. Anyway, thank you so much for this. Notice, I have come to the conclusion that I mist make a dress with laceand now I know how to start, after reading your other posts about lace. Thanks again!
Ooh perfect timing -a couple of hours ago I found a really pretty, super cheap, and reassuringly substantial grey lace in the fabric shop at my local market. My friend at Suggested your site as I am attempting to fabricate a lace dress for an upcoming event.
It was extremely helpful and inspirational.
I love your clear explanations, Great project.
You make it seem so easy that I just might try making a lace garment. Thanks for this post Gertie. Essentially, this will be all trial and error for me! Wish me luck!
