Waist Shaping...

Finished the waist part, its now fitting the waist but not constricting it. The lace design adjusts to the wearer's figure ;)

Sleeves and Neck edging done!

  

I'm finally done with the top part of the dress! I used up 3 balls of Cannon thread so far...

I'm still in love with the sleeves, after having done several projects using this pattern (my own design). 

After sewing the shoulder seam, the sleeve is crocheted directly on the armhole edge.      

                

The neck edging is made up of two rows of scs.
