My first sewing project since returning home from France was to make use of the free lace that I was given at the factory in Calais. I made this dress using the spare material from the corduroy skirt, and I thought a nice bit of lace was just what it needed! The dress is literally two identical pieces of fabric sewn together - I traced around my floral pinafore to get the shape right.
I made a little collar with the lace and sewed it on with a simple running stitch, and finished the look with some white buttons. Can't wait to wear the dress out!
I had a little photoshoot today with my friend who's a photographer - hopefully I'll be able to show you the pictures when they're ready! The theme could best be described as 'book worm' - meaning lots of poses with vintage books and thick rimmed glasses!

Good job ! Ths dress is so pretty.
cute girl you are, and I love your ponytail :)

so pretty! but i was wondering, did you need to put a zip in the dress, or are you able to just slip it on? because i was thinking of attempting something like that, but i don't think i'm capable of zips >_<
