Great looking dress! Worth all the work it took to get there; two sets of sleeves, a lining sewn and removed, then finishing all the seam edges. Whew! And I learned a new word. I had never hear of "lacuna" before.

I do like your dress... and what a great save with the lining, which looks lovely fabric close up. I'd also like to thank you for taking the lining out... often I read about others that line all their dresses and try and convince myself it is because of the heat and not because I am lazy that I do not line many dresses... confirmed now, it is definitely the heat ;) !Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.com
