The construction process was complicated by the fact that it took me a while to remember how to sew with fabric. Mesh handles differently than fabric and I'd been working with mesh for so long that I had to redo certain parts more than once.

One part that has not worked are the sleeves. Although they look fine in this photo, they sort of feel like mitts because the fabric is so heavy. I spent 3 hours just on these sleeves and at the end of the day ripped off the "ruffle" so I can rework them with a lighter fabric or lace.

I espeially love the design and colour pattern. Fashion is indeed your muse from these images in this post. Love the sleeves;-)
And I also wish you luck!
It already looks amazing, the construction of the top looks complicated but beautiful. I love the fabric, is it Manuel Canovas? Complete stab in the dark... I look forward to seeing the finished dress. Love from London xo
INgrid, you are such a star.. Thank you for your indepth information and all the photos.. Even a no sewing photographer like myself can see what to do. Thank you. Carla
I like the lace ruffles on the sleeves idea. Good luck!
Can't wait to see the final result. I can barely sew on a button! Best of luck with your talk this weekend, Ingrid.

It is looking EXQUISITE Ingrid! I will wait with baited breath... I just love gowns...
Of course I would know that you would also like Deborah Turbeville ~ when I was a makeup artist (back in the day) she was a huge inspiration to me.
