The skirt has a hang loose lining, and instead of hemming the lining, I sewed lace on the bottom (this is one of the techniques used in heirloom sewing – see picture).

                                    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dress is really comfortable to wear.  I love how it looks and feels when I wear it.

 

Happy Sewing everyone!
