This is a beautiful dress, fabric choic...Hi Audrey,<br />This is a beautiful dress, fabric choice, ric rac trim and the fit is spot on. I love your style. Everything you make that I see on your blog is classy. You choose young "with it" designs but you never look like your trying to be 20 yrs old again. That is not easy to do but you nail it every time! I am inquiring about the sheer sleeved top under your dress. Did you make it ? Would you share the pattern and fabric choice if you did make it please? I am 67yrs and I don't feel comfortable in sleeveless dresses (unless it is hot, hot, hot outside) all year round and I think this solution is brilliant. Thanks in advance for any information you can pass on. An admirer of your style and sewing skill !
