Marigold Dress

I made this dress a long time ago...but I haven't worn it very many times. I used the same pattern for this dress as for the cream floral and the red lace one. I made this one even before the other two, that's how long ago it was. I hadn't changed the back or the sleeves as I did on the other one a just followed the pattern. I don't really love the sleeves- with their sticky-out-ness. When I made the other ones I made them drop shoulder instead of these lil' cap sleeve things. Whatever they are. 
I don't have any good pictures of the back, so just enjoy it's brightness as is.

In love with this dress.



 "Jillian made her own wedding gown, including the pattern for it.  She deconstructed a vintage dress to make the pattern for the bodice, sewed it, and then began to work on the doilies.  It took three weeks and over two miles of crochet yarn to complete the effect."


I found these photos through a variety of links, but the source is this amazing website by Gia Canali. Sooo many beautiful things to look at. 
I'm swooning so hard.

Anyone want to attempt making a dress like this with me?
