I entered my dress in the Ag Fair and got a blue ribbon! whoo hoo! You may recognize the skirt, from an earlier post. I added the bodice and the sleeves since. I dyed it with lichen and it is definitely my favorite thing I have made so far.

lichens (& mosses) are among my favourite things - what a delight to see the lovely colour lichen has given to your handiwork.

I don't care for the color, but the stitching is very well done and I'm impressed with the effort that you put into it! The prize was well-deserved. :D

mad for crochet!

Thanks for your kind words. The lace pattern was from Angela Best's Tender Teal Leaves Sweater and I just improvised the dress design by the seat of my pants- my usual MO.

This I absolutely love. You don't see very many lacy dresses like this, and your details makes it very special.
