Inspiration was the cotton lace blouse to use as yoke front and back: also pale blue rose devore fabric, matched up with pale blue and pale green fabrics. I keep coordinating coloured fabrics in baskets, and when a new piece is added, it often gives the inspiration, such as the lace, which spurs me to start the garment. I've been wanting to do a diamonds patched dress so the idea of using the lace blouse cut to a V yoke to gather patches from was inspiring. The yoke frill and joining was a lot of detailed work. The diamond front of lace yoke was taken off the blouse and hand sewn on for strength and design.
