When I recieved the Threads issue with Christian Dior Black Lace (January 2013) I could not stop thinking about all of the design elements. I purchased black and nude chiffon for the double layer slip, guaze for the straps and black lace and organza. I spent a lot of time trying to find a pattern since I had never made my own but after weeks of looking I decided I had to do it myself. I created a bodice, yoke and a 3/4 flounce. This project certainly has areas for improvement but I learned so much about draping, and sewing with lace backed organza. Thank you for having this contest to push me to do something I may not have otherwise done!!
