I used black because it was what I had ...it's also quite possible everyone has an LBD to wear with it. However, since it's spring, a lighter, softer hue would be nice ...and as stated above, a soft mesh/tulle would be gorgeous and a sheer chiffon would be ballerina-esque, but you'd have to hem the edges. I like to keep it easy for DIYs but if you're a pro, you could easily close the back seam.
Have Fun!

WOW Megan! This is really great! I wish I had and could use a sewing maschine.... :)
Super fun! I love that you didn't close the back, actually, it gives a little more interest to the piece!
I adore lace! I can't wait to try this. :)
The last picure is great!!! It's quite easy I think, I relax myself a lot doing DIY ;)

It looks great on you!
Yet another amazing DIY. I adore your blog!

That turned out amazing! I wish I had the time and ability to do this myself...
I did the old t-shirt fringe necklace DIY last night. I was about to get rid of some clothes and figured, "Why not DIY some of these?" I have no clue what to wear it with (mine's black)- any suggestions? LOVE the lace. I think I'll try tulle with the new pink and purple dress I have!

you have outdone yourself haven't you....i love it. amazing work.
:)
ps and you rock it very well!
ANON: yes ...the garden hose shot makes me giggle.. .. it's soooo long!
AnnaN: the necklace isn't a necklace at all actually, it's vintage rosary beads that technically, as far as Catholics are concerned, is sacreligious to wear as a necklace ...but since I'm not a practicing Catholic any longer, I don't care :) You can find one at any religious shop or online -google "rosary beads"
Beautiful!

I would totes wear this- maybe more in like a mesh or tulle though. Great DIY tip!
Dear Maegan, thank you so much! As far as the main religion in my country is not catholic, I didn't know. I had a similar one from Cyprus, but it was from the souvenere shop, so it's almost worn out :(
Thanks again and have a great day!
You are my inspiration, my muse, my goddess :)
I would love this in a light, springy colour. Maybe a pretty peach or lovely lilac? Definitely one to try! :)
This looks good. I think it'd work well if it had a section almost "missing" from the front and worn over a black dress to fit in with the rise and fall hem trend I'm loving at the moment.
I LOVE IT!!! and its funny, you say maybe try making it in a light huge because I'm really trying to lighten my wardrobe a bit...because I wear so much black its even starting to drive me nuts a little...I'm so repetitive with my outfits lately! bleh! and this is a super DIY I totally love it! I really like this lace you have ! its a really nice pattern. Reminds me of Audrey Hepburn's dress and mask!!! LOVE IT!
and ps your comment above ...I wear rosary beads too as necklaces ;)
This is a fantastic tutorial and I love the outcome. My Mum did something similar for me at Halloween for a vampire outfit, and it's great what you can with a few materials and some pennies! xxx
You look like a new-age Madonna!
*woot woot*

I actually made a skirt that is very similar to your design, but I swear that I made this skirt before I saw your DIY.
I guess perhaps great minds think alike?
