“The inspiration for this pattern came from Duchess of Cambridge and her wearing it for the opening of the New Thiepval Museum on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the battle of the Somme. It was a somber ceremony. The Duchess wore a new lace suit for the days’ events. The dress was made of lace overlaid on black and has a Peter Pan collar, 3/4 length sleeves, and a peplum.

Sophie Hallette created the French Lace and tulle, the same provider of the lace on her wedding dress.”

This beautiful pattern was created exclusively for the Virtual Doll Convention by artist Kathi Mendenhall. It is a digital PDF download that you will print at home. It is FULL of thorough instruction and lots of beautiful photos.
