After you have printed the pattern, cut out the shape and trace it on a small piece of the fabric.
Cut out the shape from the fabric.
Next, add the trim. Fold the end of the lace trim 1/4 inch under the dress fabric and pin in place.
Cut the lace on the other side leaving 1/4 inch excess past the edge of the dress. Fold that side over the dress fabric and pin in place.
Sew an 1/8 inch seam along the folds.
Next, add the ruffle trim as you did the lace trim. Fold the edges over the fabric and pin in place.
Sew the ruffle trim to the fabric with 1/8 inch seams. Repeat this as many times as you like until the dress is embellished to your taste.
Pay close attention to the width of the waist so that it will line up nicely with the embroidery.
Next, pin the dress to the embroidery. Align the top of the dress with the lady's waist. Pin in place.
Sew the dress to the embroidered design with a straight stitch along the top of the dress.
Then, add any other accents of your choosing.
We added ribbon rose accents with hot glue along the waistline.
