Check out this gorge Erdem-inspired red lace dress!

  • 12.14.2011

Lace dresses are everywhere this holiday season!  And they are awesome.  You see them everywhere, in sexy, girly, sweet, festive, and funky looks, and yes, I made one myself out of vintage lace yesterday!

Which is why it's so funny and cool that my blog friend Jessi at Sweetie Pie Bakery (she used to be a regular poster here!  Thanks, Jessi!) just shared an awesome lace dress she made!  Inspired by this Erdem gem:


Sooo cute.  Famously worn by Michelle Williams...


Now worn by Jessi!


Awesome DIY, eh??

Have any of you made anything with lace recently?  Or any great holiday party dresses?  I wish I had more parties to go to so I could make more dresses! ;)

    I just finished sewing a fancy Christmas dress for my daughter and a matching tie (first time for one of those) for my son. She designed every detail (she's 8) and picked out the fabric and I made what she wanted. She's so happy!

    I kind of wish you had a page where your followers could post pics of their work. I don't have a single friend that sews and it would be so fun to show it to someone who does. (I though about Facebook, but didn't want to spam up your page) I'd love to see others' work too!!!

    Merry Christmas! :)
