An Antique Dress
I recently had a bride bring me a vintage dress that she had found at an antique store for $25.00. It was lovely, however the top was lace and the skirt was a sheer silk organza from what I could tell. It fit her perfectly, but there was no lining AT ALL. So she wanted it lined, and wanted the skirt to have a few more layers with a little fullness. So she brought me some fabric the next week and I added knit (stretchy) fabric to the top, and a another layer of silk organza, a layer of lining and some crinoline to the skirt. Here is the finished project.

Simply stunning! Love the back detail and you managed to keep the integrity of the original while adding just what she needed and wanted. Great job!
