I found this really old tacky fabric/supplies shop and was just about to leave empty handed when I noticed a rumage bin full of lace bits. I love this lace and made the dress around it. The scallops were a bit of a headache but I think it turned out alright, the fabric is good quality which helps.
I’m not sure that it qualifies as a dress maybe a tunic, my colleague described it as ‘cleaver’ then ‘funny’, I’m not sure how to take it!
Soft heavy cotton (must be a mix)

Me, NattyJane a little too for inspiring me with her scalloped skirt. No pattern used.

I love it! I love the lace, it looks great on the dress. How did you make the scallops, I’ve never seen that before.

Maybe your co-worker meant fun? Like the flowers on top. Is that the lace?
