Hi! Lovely dress, I’m working on the same pattern now, I’m only going to use the top but I just can’t seem to get my head around how the layers on the top is made? Do you fold the front pieces 1-4 or is there additional pieces that you add onto the front pieces? Help please!:)

Oh goodness I’m so sorry I haven’t logged on here in a long time! Are you still working on this? I don’t have the pattern on me so I don’t know what pieces you are referring to.If you still need help though I will get them out :)

Totally lovely!! I’m so partial to the butter yellow colour, too – my prom gown was this colour and I’ve also got a cocktail dress I’ve made in this satin, too. You’ve done an amazing job on the pleating a lace!

Simply exquisite! Lovely work! It’s nice to be able to take a part of something that you like and add a bit of your own design to it. Absolutely beautiful work! So….were you the belle of the ball?
