Lace inspired Dress

Update:

Last year in my fashion course at college our first unit was to make a dress inspired by lace. To get some inspiration I first made a mood board with anything that either reminded me of lace or used lace to help stir up ideas.  

Then using this for inspiration I created multiple designs. 

 After picking my final design i went through the long process of making it so here is the chosen design with the finished garment. Even though my garment doesn't look like stereotypical lace as I wanted to think outside the box and took the idea of lace being "an opaque pattern on a transparent fabric."
