Viola! Here it my latest version of Simplicity 1610. The fabric is a stiff maize yellow cotton with a black chantilly lace overlay. I added scattered rhinestones in yellow, clear and lime green for a little sparkle. This one took me about 7-8 hours from start to finish. I am thrilled with how it turned out and can't wait to wear it out.
The center back lace pattern didn't match up perfectly which I am bummed about. Oh well, it happens. This lace was tricky to work with and kept shifting on me while I was cutting it.
I think this may be my last dress for the make a month challange this year since I have already made so many! My next project will be to make a new purse. I have some pink and white leopard print twill I've been saving for something special which will be perfect. Anyhoo, that's it for Simplicity 1610. Over and out.

It looks amazing! You should start your own business!
wow that looks cute, I used to have lots of this style of dress years ago with the lace overlay, I should think about trying it myself!!
Great job with the lace, and the colors are just stunning. I have fabric for lace overlay dress, but have not worked up the courage to tackle it yet!
I wouldn't even have noticed that the pattern didn't match up on the back!
What a gorgeous little dress! And it would be a shame to your fans if you suddenly stopped the make a month challenge. I am really, really enjoying seeing these vintage patterns come to life.
