Bias tape is always "fun" to make, isn't it? I have always thought, though, that self-fabric bias binding on neck edges and sleeves looks much better that store bought binding. :D GREAT JOB!!!

You would never know you had any trouble at all with it. ;) I used to make a lot of aprons and made a LOT of self-fabric and contrasting fabric bias tape. You're right---lots of ironing. But honestly, I think self-fabric bias tape looks better than store bought most of the time! :D What a lovely dress!

Lots of careful deconstructing! Heehee... this dress is potentially fireproof! Note: Commenter Jane has identified the fabric as "Quaker Lady" by Waverly.
