tangerine lace

I posted a while back that I was working on a lace dress for my brother-in-law's wedding.  Here was my inspiration for the dress:

via anthropologie (no longer in stock)

and here is the finished product:







 dress: me, shoes: nine west, bracelet: JCrew, necklace: Nashelle, earings: Forever 21, nails: China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint

all photos courtesy of the uber talented lalaslens.  Love you Lauren!

It turned out just as I was envisioning, with a little trial and error along the way.  Rit dye became my bff.  More on that little love affair later...

    Pantone color of the year! Love the dress, I saw pictures from the wedding and was loving it then and wondered if it was your creation.

    Lace is my new favorite right now. I'm gearing up to make a long lace tank with pockets soon.

    Do you know where I might find the pattern, and material. Especially the lace. I LOVE the color.

    So cute! I have been following your blog for awhile now, and I just found out that your husband is in law school with my daughter and son-in-law. In fact, they were both in DC at the same time this summer. Small, small world.

    Looks great!! I'm going to be working on a little navy blue lace number myself here real soon! Though I'm going to brave the sleeveless, circle skirt look I think.
