Vanna’s Glamour yarn from Lion Brand gives this lacy dress a fun bit of sparkle, perfect for holiday parties. It features a figure-flattering empire waist, and subtle shaping to hug your curves in all the right places. The skirt flares out slightly, just enough for a little bit of a twirly bounce. I wore this to the CGOA Conference this past summer, and the picture is from just before the fashion show.

This is a more advanced pattern, and something of a time commitment as it’s done in sport weight yarn. It also does require a slip or lining, because of the all-over lace design. I wore it over a black, full slip, which really made the lace texture pop. I have made a couple of slight adjustments to the pattern from the above photo, to raise the waist just a little bit higher and make the skirt flare out just a little bit sooner.
