The more I look the more I fall in love

The details are not the details. They make the design.

In this post I'd love to share ideas and thoughts I had working on this orange and daisy dress, which I made for my friend Inessa, beautiful lady and great singer. Russian folk with a modern twist was required according to Inessa's repertoire...

We bought fabrics in The Fabric Store (38 Wandoo Street, Fortitude Valley). We chose orange satin, silk mix, and daisy lace, polyester. We chose lace very carefully. 
                                     
                                                           How to choose lace fabric? 
                         There are few recommendations. 
                                       Lace should be:
                               -Pretty strong. You will see if threads are too thin and weak. Holes won't embellish your dress.
                               -Not clingy to your fingers when you touch it, otherwise it will lose smooth finish very soon. And won't last for long.
