Lace is fun this season, especially when you pair it with sheer and skin tones.
You will find many fun posts with lace this season on my blog (coming soon),
so to start,
this week’s post was inspired by one of my favorite looks from Juicy Couture.
I fell completely in love with the sheer sleeves and sheer lace trim for the hemline (A.P.C. has an amazing version).
It’s modest and super flirty and the tutorial I have to remake this look is dang near perfection!
How to recreate this Juicy Couture Lace Mint Dress,
- You’ll need McCall’s Pattern 6465Â and make dress D
- Fabric. I bought this gorgeous circle mint lace at Joann Stores, “Pastel Perfection Collection Circles Lace Mint Fabric“.
Buy according to pattern instructions. You will also need to buy some mint underlay(liner) for the bodice but not for the sleeves. - Follow pattern instructions, EXCEPT
- Do not hem the lace sleeves or dress.
Instead, cut around the circles to create a scalloped hem. - Hem the fabric, underlay/liner, underneath 1.5-2″ shorter than the lace hem.
- Do not hem the lace sleeves or dress.
- and you have yourself the most amazing mint dress! Easy, right? HECK YES.
I love this pattern, I love this fabric, this silhouette is flattering on almost anyone,
annnnnnd this is one of my most favorite diy runway looks to date!
The pattern itself is a cinch to whip up, so get yourself to the cutting board and starting working!
