the bust is almost finished now, can start on the lace pattern in the next few days and also insert the elastic support for the top of the dress so i can make sure the bust length is long enough

27/04/2010
i have sewn in the elastic suport now so not much more stocking stitch to do before i increase and start the lace pattern

28/04/2010 lace started looking good!

just taken latest picture of the dress with the ribbon tied round to get a real picture of what the dress will look like once completed.

well i tried the dress on today and its Way too clingy to my hips, bottom & thighs.
so ripped it back a few pattern repeats and got the idea from soniah72’s beach cover up to increase between purl stitches to form some more pattern blocks, so ive added 5 more panels of pattern to the dress, im quite suprised at how eays it was to do it without it looking silly/messy

06/06/2010
new pictures added

07/06/2010

ran out of yarn again so started on the lace shawl (in my projects) i tried the dress on again this morning and its down to my ankles!! so only maybe 2 more balls of yarn needed for this!! will be picking more yarn up on 15th july

20/07/2010
Finally got more yarn but starting to think about straps now, ive got the book knitted lingerie style and i think im going to do the bra straps from the basic bra (also on ravelry) for the dress starps as they are quite flat to the skin so wont interupt the elastic on the dress
Really not very far off now :-)
