In progress

I fail to believe I just wrote a nice long post and found out I put it into the wrong blog...I belong to a couture group that also has a blog on Blogger and I didn't pay any attention.  So I had to race to delete that post before anyone saw it...I don't feel I have any business posting on a couture website!  But back to regularly scheduled programming:  I am working on an Easter dress.  I am scheduled to meet my son's girlfriend's parents on Easter Sunday and go to their home for lunch.  Naturally I have no idea what the weather will be like so I am hedging my bets with a lightweight wool crepe in a clear fuchsia.  I've made the dress before:

Only this time I decided that the strong color would be too much and too plain (for me!)  So today I took advantage of the fact that I was lunching with a girlfriend not too far from a JoAnn's and decided to see what was out there.  Of course I didn't bring a sample of my fabric, but I have a pretty good eye for color.  I found this "lace"...actually the flowers are loosely applied to a net background...and I plan to make long, full sleeves gathered to a cuff out of that fabric.  What do you think?  Plain or lace?
