I wrote a really detailed review, including all my techniques to deal with sheer and slippery sewing on the bias over at pattern review, so you can head on over there if you want the details.
One thing that I did not include in the review was the slip I made, because I made it out of knit fabric, and knits were not permitted in the entry.
The slip pattern was a mash up of several different patterns and a RTW slip, and I am glad that I have finally put it in paper form. I dyed the elastic trim and straps myself. I bought a bunch of acid dyes a while back, and have been trying them out of a few different projects. Generally, these have not been very successful, and I still have much to learn, but I was pretty happy with the colour this time around.

What a pretty dress. It looks great on you! I will have to go and have a read.
That's a really lovely dress. It's such a great colour on you and I love it with the red shoes. Good luck. This looks terrific. I'm going to go read too!
WOW! This dress is really pretty! It's so soft and floaty and the detail is fantastic.
Oh my goodness that is beyond gorgeous!!!!!! I can't begin to imagine how tricky working with such a fine fabric must have been, you are a sewing ninja xxx
I love it! So many cool style lines and design features - you don't see that as much these days!
Beautiful! I have had this pattern forever and never seem to get around to making it.
So totally different from your usual style and so totally gorgeous! Love the red lippie too. E x
I think I missed hearing about the Sewing Bee, but I love the outfits you are creating. This dress is gorgeous!!
