Flapper Dresses (Part 1)

I've been wanting to add some finished dresses to the boutique and am currently designing a couple of 1920's flapper dresses. Though I doubt if I will be able to doing any sewing until after my eye surgery.

I found these embroidered laces in my stash along with some pretty embellishments which were the perfect colour match.


The lavender daisies will be perfect for straps on the navy lace and will pick up on the embroidery nicely. I'll probably use the applique on the bodice of the ivory lace, then bead it in shades of pink to match the embroidery.

I want to keep the actual style of the dress really simple and add elaborate finishing touches. Now all I need to do is hunt around for some tiny beads, I'm sure I have a few packets somewhere in my stash. In the meantime it's back to the drawing board.
