Unique 50's inspired gown from my sketch with modifications

I struggled and struggled getting my first design right only to have to redesign it some. For this version I added lace at the bottom, hidden pockets which changed my intial skirt. I also changed the back to a princess seam back. This is by far the hardest dress I have in my collection. I have never gotten the bodice right with one try. I will still blame it on the tape measure. I love off the shoulder dresses.

I do love the lace detail.
