I used to want to be a designer untill i found out how much hard work it was and discovered how terrible i was at following any sort of pattern. I have always dabbled and made the odd quick and easy garment but this i think will be my biggest challenge.
I made this chiffon dress last year for a wedding but being chiffon it showed up the endless mistakes in the sewing and i never wore it. Last night i had a brain wave and came up with this concept........the Doily/Lace Dress.
As with most of you i have a stash of Doily's at the ready for emergency's or nostaligic moments and i have never known what to do with them. Not anymore...............get ready for a Doily covered dress!
Im going to take my time making this one as i really want it to look perfect!

Great idea! I love doily dresses and clothes. I spotted a girl on the weekend with a shawl made of doilies and it looked great!
Doily Dress sounds very cool - make sure you post the complete project! The chiffon dress looks lovely too though...
can't wait to see it, you must be very patient!
will look very soft and pretty the neck edging looks relly good
That is going to look great, what an exciting project.
oh my! that is a wonderful looking project - I would love to see it finished.
I'm one of those doiley hoarders....
I'm really excited by the concept of a doily dress! I'll watch the progress eagerly...
Your idea of the 'emergency doily' made me laugh!!!
I love to watch things build slowly! Have fun.
Wow! I am so impressed! A doily project - just love it. The photos are great - they really build the moment! K
Wow. allot of work, don't give up it looks fantastic.
What a cute idea for the doilies. I think there are some great creative uses for them - I used one to make a little doll face cushion for Sophie and she loves it!
It looks beautiful Nicola. I love the antique look to it
This looks great already.
doilies are cool when they are on everything else but your furniture lol your dress looks awesome. I am still hoping to make a throw from doilies. I adore repurposing. well done
I have started a doilie collection. Not sure what I will do with mine, but I am loving what you are doing with yours!
:)
Looks lovely. can't wait to see it finished.
