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.

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

Adorable..... is the doll Sugar Britches? My best friend did Porcelin dolls years ago and this looks like one she did for me.

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

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!

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 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.
