This is my doll dress for Tuesday @ first I made it with cream coloured lace ( I thought I had a photo) but I really did NOT like it but my Teacher said it would make it look more vintage. I thought it made it look yellow. So I sat with it like that for 3 days & I still hated it so I ripped all the stitches out with the ripper & added the blue & cream lace & I think it still looks vintage too. What do you think? I have added a photo of the lace that I took off so you could compare. Originally there was no lace in the middle (I added that today I thought it was a bit nicer to have some instead of it being bare) so it was just this lace in the middle that was at the bottom.

I agree that you made the correct decision in changing the lace. The blue & white is much better and not at all yellow looking. Great job on the dress.

ah thanks I am glad to see that everyone agrees with me. My teacher preferred the cream lace by itself? to each their own but I like it now before I did not. Hugs & **

I don't like cream lace on white fabric (or white lace on cream), it makes the white look too harsh and the cream yellow. I love your blue. Nice alteration!

Well, I for one, Loralye prefer the blue lace. I have a soft spot for blues and lavenders/purples etc. Well done and it looks awesome. Love Chris

Beautiful - great job. Vintage or not, you have to be happy yourself with the finished result, you should feel very proud of this result.
