Two lace fabrics and a large print might sound like a recipe for disaster. That’s what I thought and I decided to try this when I tested Miz Mozelle by Jaime Christina.

All of these fabrics are Pitt Trading remnants. There are florals on the lace pieces and the dress fabric has a huge floral print on it.

I had to reshape the lace sleeve hem because it looked a bit too drab. You can see how I adjusted the sleeve pattern piece.

The actual pattern has a separate bodice and skirt piece.
To keep the dress print consistent, I lengthened the bodice to dress length. The tricky bit was sewing the bias tape inside the waistline so I could have the elastic gathers at my waistline.

This dress is low maintenance and forgiving.

I’m very happy this experiment worked out.

Next up, the version I wanted with a bit more detailing.
