Black Lace

Well, there is no red carpet occasion, but I am happy to have completed my black lace dress. I know, I know, it looks a lot like my blue lace dress. That is because I love my blue lace dress so I used the same pattern. I did make a few alterations in the length and the sleeve. Also, I couldn't decide whether to line it in nude or black so I made the dress separate from the lining. I made a black lining and may make a nude colored on as well, but I just used a slip for the photo. I think I prefer the black anyway. What do you think?

    Wow, beautiful dress. I have to try this! I was admiring the flowers on the black box t-shirt you made in the previous post. I´m a fanatic of flowers, are those painted on?

    Thank you. The floral fabric that I used on the box blouse was given to me by a friend. I believe the flowers are printed, but I could be wrong. Either way, I really love that top. I think it is my favorite box blouse.
