Cream Lace New Look 6184

Hi everyone, I finished this dress a little while back. This is my second attempt at New Look 6184, my first one can be found here. 

I have seen a lot of lace dresses around and wanted to make one for myself, my inspiration was from this lace dress Taylor Swift is wearing. 

The lace fabric was a gift from my friend Sarah, which I used initially to make some of the flowers for my wedding. I only had just enough left over to make this dress and not enough to make any sleeves, it was originally a net curtain from a charity shop. 

Here are some pics of my bouquet and ring ring cushion from my wedding that I made using the lace.

I interlined the lace with an off-white rayon, it was quite time consuming cutting out all the pieces in two fabrics. I sewed each lace pattern piece to the corresponding rayon one using a 1/4" seam, after that the dress went together quite quickly.

Looking at this picture it looks a bit baggy around my waist, I didn't notice this until I looked at the pictures so not sure what happend there.

I really like how this has turned out, I wore it with a brown belt and shoes so it didn't look to bridesmaid or wedding like. It's been very cold here the last few weeks so don't think I will get chance to wear this properly until it warms up a bit.

There are a few wrinkles on the back I think this may be from the way I'm standing.

Here is a close up pic of the pleat detail on the front. I was a bit worried how these would look because of the thickness of the lace and rayon, but they look how they are supposed to.

Let me know what you think.
