My son’s wedding was wonderful! And like my other son’s wedding last year, I was sewing on my dress until the day before the wedding. I really hope I don’t end up doing that again when my daughter gets married someday.
The dress was a v-neck, and rather deep. So I bought a modesty panel and created this tatted motif to add to the panel for extra interest. I started tatting it in Laramie, Wyoming, and finished it sometime after we crossed the border into Utah. It took me roughly 350 miles and 5 hours. Whew!
Here’s a link to the modesty panel on Amazon if you’re interested. I’ve not purchased a lot of blouses because of the depth of the neckline, but I think with this panel, I’ll have a lot more options when I shop.
This is a beginner pattern. It is about 4 inches (10 cm) tall and 3.5 inches (8 cm) wide when done with size 20 thread.
I used Lizbeth Burgundy color 672 in size 20.
