I Love Calla Lillies Dress

for MeMadeMay'18, Day #5.

~ rhally I do ~

I made up this dress from scraps of dark navy chiffon, maybe 8 years ago.  There was just enough to do it, without sleeves.

You can see how one of the front diagonal pieces extends down the entire front of the dress to the hemline.

But the bodice back only went to the empire waist-line so more piecing was involved.  Putting it together was kind of like a jigsaw puzzle.

Then I found this deep green bit of chiffon scarf and had enough to split it in two to make sleeves.  Plus I was able to use its lovely hand-rolled hem for the edges.

This is the black chiffon slip I'm wearing underneath made from a scrap of fabric I had on hand.

 And as always, my parting shot of shoes and sox...
