I dont think i'll be messing with this one but useful to know in future what happened. the lace was definitely stretchier (tho not stretch lace) than the lining so i'm sure you are right. something to bear in mind for future makes!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-36922408285088436002014-07-19T23:52:49.607+01:002014-07-19T23:52:49.607+01:00thanks kathryn. it was quite a lot of work so i h...thanks kathryn. it was quite a lot of work so i hope it was worth it! glad you like it!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-91858616274806316972014-07-19T23:52:00.849+01:002014-07-19T23:52:00.849+01:00thanks helen. i wore it out on my birthday so it ...thanks helen. i wore it out on my birthday so it has had a wear already!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-26436264622336142542014-07-19T23:50:52.289+01:002014-07-19T23:50:52.289+01:00thanks ruth. i spent ages considering the underli...thanks ruth. i spent ages considering the underlining and trying out different swatches, but i'm happy with the result in the end!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-86036677790845251162014-07-19T23:49:55.955+01:002014-07-19T23:49:55.955+01:00thanks sam. the lace is so lovely - i hope it di...thanks sam. the lace is so lovely - i hope it did it justice!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-9981609617955108702014-07-19T23:49:29.738+01:002014-07-19T23:49:29.738+01:00thanks - we'll need to do cocktails in that ca...thanks - we'll need to do cocktails in that case!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-9197327560747699502014-07-19T23:10:57.241+01:002014-07-19T23:10:57.241+01:00That is such a beautiful dress, the lace detail is...That is such a beautiful dress, the lace detail is stunning!<br />Nicola xNicola's Beadshttps://www.semipreciousbeads.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-34022892400085326652014-07-19T12:12:34.816+01:002014-07-19T12:12:34.816+01:00The darker lining is a good choice.

I love the combination of fabric - contrast under lace has always been one of my favorites. <br /><br />Sequins and glitter will live in your house for years after sewing something like this. So worth it for a dress like this - not so much for the costuming project I've done.<br /><br />Sometimes the outer layer will pull like that at the seams when it needs to be eased in a little tighter. Looks like the underlining might have ended up being slightly shorter than the lace. (Layers may also have shifted slightly even with the walking foot.) <br /><br />I wouldn't worry much about it, but if you really want to mess with it, try popping the stitches in just the dragging area and baste it by hand. If it hangs better stitch right over the hand basting.

I agree with Helen, i think the navy lining was a great idea for showing off the lace.
