Maxi Dress for a September Wedding reception

This was the photo I texted to Lisa and Sam the week before the Jen and Mark's wedding in September.  Always a last minute sewer!  Being able to send photos of what we are sewing is a lovely way of staying in touch. Borrowed the mirror in their room so a bit cluttered but gives the general idea.

This dress is made of a grey lycra covered with a stretch gray lace.  I was so chuffed with the way it looked and felt.  It has a back split and the neckline is really unnusual.  I am sure I will be using this pattern again.  The difficulty was making it out of 2 fabrics, I sewed the lycra and the lace pieces together before constructing the dress but had to unpick when I got to the hem as there had evidently been some stretch at some point which meant it wasn't hanging correctly.
