My Ruby Slip finished

I finished this project a few weeks back but have been trying to devise a way to take photos of me wearing it that do not look too indecent. However, after a few attempts I gave up and photographed on my form. It doesn't flatter or help it look good. Please take my work for it, it looks better on me.
So onto the project itself! It's a design by the talented and gorgeous Sherry, who blogs over at Pattern Scissors Cloth and it couldn't be easier to follow. Matching the scalloped lace edges is not difficult, just tedious and the bias cutting and sewing experience wasn't too bad. My fabric was in my stash, a remnant of something satiny but definitely polyester my mum gave me. The lace was also in my stash, part of the fabric I bought in Hungary last year. The straps gave me a bit of a headache and although I ordered some bra straps, as a plan B, I managed to get them done.
You can also see the hem looks a bit dodgy. I attempted my narrow hem foot for first time and it's not perfect.
Thank you so much Sherry for this great project!

  7. Yes, this one is probably best left to the dress form. What have you been wearing it under, or is it sleepwear?
