Step-by-step Instructions Step 1: Gather Your Materials Fabric of your choice (stretchy lace, cotton jersey, lightweight woven fabric, etc.) Matching thread Sewing machine Paper (pattern paper, tracing paper, or any large sheet of paper) Pencil Ruler or measuring tape Hooks, snaps, or Velcro (for attaching to bra straps) Narrow elastic or ribbon to make strap loops Basic sewing supplies (scissors, needles, pins, etc.) Optional: lightweight interfacing (for structure if using very lightweight fabrics) Optional: French curve (for drawing smooth curves) For my modesty panel, I had an interesting fabric choice 100% silk chiffon with metallic silver threads
The lightweight breathable structure allows comfortable warm-weather wear while maintaining elevated sophistication
Khaki pants are a multipurpose closet staple that can be dressed up or down for every occasion
Doing this took precision cutting to merge the lace patterns and was hand sewn as well
The selection of blue colors for this dress as you can see is also a wonderful idea
In 1999, it was sold for $1.3m (then 790,000), and now it is up for auction again, with some other Monroe mementoes
