Pink T-Yoked Dress with Lace Panel

This dress turned out beyond my expectations!!! I purchased a lace panel which measured 15 inches by 26 inches on eBay. This lace panel is what I used to create the front T-shaped yoke and the back yoke of this dress. The lace and embroidered piece is "old" lace and it is absolutely beautiful and in great condition. To finish the dress, I coordinated the yoke panel with new "crown" lace. The lace band is a combination of different "crown" lace insertions and beading insertions. The dress is created from pale pink Swiss batiste and has a separate slip to match. The sleeves are finished with entredeux beading and two-inch wide lace edging. The yoke was completed using Sarah Howard Stone's Basic Yoke Dress pattern (size 1 year) and it has a finished length of 19 1/2 inches. This dress has an old-fashioned appearance to it and it would be perfect for the upcoming Easter season.

This beautiful dress has SOLD.
