I had some really fun lace that I wanted to use. With some ideas from 1940's dresses, I got started designing. Some of these turned out rather 80's, but I still love them.

This one was fun. I wanted to use the wide pink lace in the bodice. So I put it across the top of the front and back bodices. I sewed with it as normal and used the same color solid fabric for the neckband. When I inserted the sleeves, I gathered a segment of it to put into the armscye first, then I inserted the sleeve. I added a row of the gathered lace on the top of the hem.
I added this lace to the waistband area of the lengthened bodice. Nice look.
This really wide lace is inserted in at the waist and again as strips in the armscye. I had to secure the upper edge of the bodice application.
This really interesting lace had me digging for the perfect fabric. I sewed the dress very plainly, then hand stitched the lace over the top at the waistband and the hem seam. I centered the design.
