A Princess Dress with Sparkle and Lace

Now that I've made about 30 of these dresses, I'm finally starting to think about how to add details to make them distinctive. I have a perfect example that actually came about by accident. I had just a little of a pink print left and just a little of a blue with sparkly pearlescent ink - enough of both together to make one dress. I decided to make the skirt of the pink and the bodice of the blue. Finished, it was cute, but nothing special. it was veering toward a princess look, but it needed... lace! Sparkly lace! And I found just the right piece in a packet of laces I'd "borrowed" from my friend, Helly. Voila! Don't you think it makes an improvement? Just a little thing, but a good example of how a bit of trim can make such a difference.
