The project I'm working on however is a 1914 Afternoon Dress that is loaded with hand embroidery, lace insertions, and pintucks. It is made out of a semi-sheer white-on-white checked cotton, with a cotton sheer mist batiste for the bodice and skirt linings. I'm excited to be working on a new pattern and here is a a snapshot of what is coming:

The embroidery is lovely! I can't wait to see the finished piece.

This is lovely. I'm sure the dress will be too-looking forward to seeing it when you're done.
Wow, Cheri-- are you doing the embroidery? That is quite a project. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
Thankyou ladies, you make me blush! =) The dress is almost finished, I just have the buttons to put in and make a silk sash for the waist.
Yes, Rachel, I did the embroidery. I'm still not a pro at it, but I hope it gets better as I go.
