The neck edge and hem were finished with tiny rolled hems.French seams were used throughout.<br> The gorgeous teal coloured silk chiffon Eden chose is beautiful, not easy to sew with, but having a simple pattern helped there.<br> I made an equally simple silk slip to wear under the dress for modesty.<br> Simple, but I hope you agree beautiful.</p>
