Black with Blue Lace 50's Skirt and Top

So I couldn't capture the lace at all but it isn't as bright as it looks in the pictures. The more I make this outfit the better the outcome. This time insteat of t-shirt length sleeves my customer want 3/4" sleeves with 50's cuffs that buttoned.

Here what the lace actually looks like I purchased it at Belraf Fabics. They have a beautiful selection of lace but be forwarned it shinks a lot. I ended up being short about a yard. So if you purchase some buy extra for the shrinking. You never know how much lace is going to shrink until you pre treat it.
Ok enough about fabrics here is the outfit:

I love the cuffs and the rose.

Upcoming project for February

I have something different to do in February. I'm pretty excited to do a new design. These pictures are for inspiration. The main thing I need to capture is the ruched bodice and she wants some bling. The back will be a full back and I'm thinking fabric covered buttons instead of a zipper.   I ordered the below bling for the gown.

Completed PS I Love You Dress...I'm pretty happy

I love this dress so much! I need to make myself one. As you can tell from my picture I'm very happy with how it turned out. Front and back view on form: Can anyone find my mistake from my previous bodice post? It is unfortunate that a shop on Etsy has been using my blog and my reviews on patterns.com to list the same items as me. It is flattering but at the same time irritating especially when the same pictures are used. I really love sharing how I hack patterns, make my own pieces to create, recreate garments but at the same time I'm trying to run a business and giving away your secrets sometimes hurts. After all the work I did with this dress I found an actual pattern that would make this dress entirely except for the pockets. Message me if you just want to make this dress for yourself and I will give you the pattern number.
