I finally settled on how I will finish my over skirt and kept it moderate. I decided that I can’t find that delicate line between wonderfully ostentatious and bat crap crazy. I am a middle aged woman so there really is no reason why I couldn’t err on the side of conservative…if you can call purple floral print conservative. I went with the lace on the front.
And I managed to squeeze enough out of the lace to make a decent coverage of the ties in the back.
And the lace shows up nicely on the sides too.
Looks great! I really like the definition that the lace gives the back ties.
I just saw this and it totally reminded me of your Lilac Dream dress. Scroll down: http://avintageramble.blogspot.ca/2013/08/the-man-behind-fashion-history-museum.html
Oh yeah! I see the resemblance. It is serendipity when you can see a real dress where the maker made similar choices to your own! I wonder if she ran out of fabric too!
