Maroon lace dress

My first time working with lace, using McCalls 6505.

 

I added quite a few couture touches, including appliqué seams, covered snaps, waist stay and a handpicked zipper!

 

I've included my own steps (due to the couture techniques) in my blog post www.queenofdarts.com/2015/08/lace-dress.html
