So, I’m wanting to make a dress replica, since the original doesn’t come in my size. It’s simple but beautiful, in my opinion, and the lace on it is what really makes it. Trouble is, I can’t find this lace anywhere. I was wondering if any of you lovely people would have any ideas on where to find it.
This picture is a close-up on the lace, from the pink version of the dress:

And this is the dress itself, in the blue color that I want to make my replica:

they may not have the exact, but very similar and it's a fun site to peruse if you like lace.
http://www.marthapullen.com has lots of lace for sale. (She is the lady on PBS Martha's Sewing Room and also the owner of Sew Beautiful Magazine). Your dress is preciouse! Mary
If you can't find a colored lace to match, look for cotton or rayon lace. You can then dye the lace to coordinate with your fabric.
