Lace overlay wedding dress

Today I have been working on lace wedding dresses. I have been carefully hand sewing the border onto the hem of the dress. It's the final thing I have to do to this dress and so far it has taken me all morning :  because the hem has a shape to it the lace has to be cut and manipulated into position.

Results so far:

 

I've done a couple of  wedding dresses with complete lace overlays this year, and I thought I'd have a look back through my work archive and revisit some of the lace garments I have made in the past.
