Update #2: Finished the dress and it’s set out to dry. I would recommend pinning the dress down first and then wetting it with a spray bottle, lace tends to expand lots if left to completely soak, so if your dress is already at the length and width you want before blocking, I would do it this way. It’s looking great!

Update #1: I’m nearly done with the dress, just a couple more rnds and the edging need to be done. The dress came out just a tad bit looser for the size 38-40 than I would have liked with this yarn but it’s still semi-fitted when worn. The subtle gradients of this yarn are showing up very nicely with these stitch patterns, can’t wait to see it once it’s wet blocked!
