I was excited to try to make this top:

The supplies I used was a lace appliqué and a very light, thin cotton gauze.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find lace like the top above.  The piece I found was smaller, but thought it would still work.  I drafted a pattern, and made it very drapey and long.

Looks like a night shirt…

…which is what it will end up being at this point.  I am not much into wearing mumu’s, so it won’t get worn as anything else I will wager.

At least it will be a pretty nightshirt!  I think in making this, a chiffon would be better than the cotton.  The lace at the bottom is a nice touch and can add some weight so it hangs straighter, too.  I didn’t put the lace on, as at that point I figured it wasn’t working.

Onward…to something that will hopefully fit me!
