Pleats and Richelieu

I finally got to wear this dress last Friday. Soft pink and soft gray. Not the easiest to pair, but I just stuck to other light, soft shades (gray cardigan from target, gray tights, geometric sandals and dress from ModCloth).
Great details! Those oragami pleats! That neckline! It's such a pretty dress, you cannot help but feel pretty wearing it.

I got a fantastic new Pfaff sewing machine for Xmas and have been really enjoying it and making lots of lovely clothes. According to the manual, it's possible to sew this type of cutwork embroidery on it; it's called Richelieu. Hopefully I get to try that out sometime this year. It's so sweet and delicate. It's a nice detail to add to any neckline.
