I don’t have unfinished objects (UFOs) but I do have ‘fabrics in waiting’. There are ‘notions in waiting’ which accounts for why some of my clothes don’t have the same lining colour or exact matching zipper.

I’ve used Simplicity 1425 again as a dress. At some point I’ll used Simplicity 1425 as a top. I love using this top as a dress at the moment. It’s a lovely Summer style.

There wasn’t a ‘balanced piece’ of lace left so the back of this dress is bare – needs ironing.

There was plenty of silver fabric to make a dress but only a variety of odd shaped lace pieces for this dress. I used all of this lace that I had for the earlier Karen Millen style dress. 

This silver/lace dress is inspired by her work. So the lace balancing work is on the front of the dress.

The back has no lace because I didn’t have enough lace to balance the overlay without it looking ‘unfinished’.
