Willow Sequin Lace
This is a delicate ivory lace fabric with a twisting willow style embroidery embellished with sequins which gives it a beautiful sparkle. The design is a large scale pattern which runs the width of the lace and this can be used on any design.
The lace is soft with a satin finish and can be overlaid on ivory cotton, Duchess Satin or Silk Dupion for a classic bridal look or on Champagne silk for a slight contrast. Unlike some of our other laces this has a straight edge.

Options for Base Fabric: This lace fabric will be used overlaid over a solid base fabric. On this listing you can choose from Ivory Cotton Poplin, Ivory Silk, Ivroy Duchess Satin or Champagne Silk .
However, this lace can look great over a wide range of colours so please contact us if you would like to discuss a custom order using one of our other fabrics as a base or if you would like to source the base fabric yourself.
Composition of Base Fabric: 100% cotton, 100% Silk or 100% polyester (Duchess Satin)
Composition of Lace Fabric: Satin embroidery on synthetic tulle with sequins
Lace weight/texture: Light weight and soft
Lace Style: Large embroidered motif on a fine net with an embroidered straight edge. The embroidery fills the fabric and so this lace offers more coverage than some others
Quantity Available: Several dresses
Style of Dress Available: This listing is for a dress made entirely from lace with a solid layer of fabric underneath on the bodice and skirt (the dress is also fully lined). If you choose to have sleeves the sleeves will be made from a sheer layer of lace and our Princess and Grace bodices also feature a sheer section of lace at the neckline. This lace has a pretty scalloped edge which can be used as a feature on sleeves, on the neckline of the Princess bodice or at the bottom of a pleated, pencil or fitted A-line skirt. All other skirt styles will be trimmed with an ivory satin binding.
If you would like to have lace on some sections of your dress but not on others please contact us to discuss a custom order.
Production Time: Dresses take 6-12 weeks to make plus 1-2 days to ship within the UK (or 1-2 weeks for international shipping)
Express Option: Please email us if you need a dress more quickly and want to find out about our express service

If your bust and waist measurements do not match with the same standard size then you might benefit from taking the full set of measurements and having a dress made to measure.
Our made to measure service costs an additional £50-£80 if you take your own measurements and send them to us and means we will custom make the dress to your specific measurements. If you would like to visit us at the Dig For Victory shop to have an in store consultation, be measured and to then have a final fitting and any adjustments needed when the dress is complete, this will cost £80 -£200 depending on the chosen style.
- "Made to Measure" Info
Below are the full set of measurements that we would need to tailor make the dress. There is a diagram at the bottom to help show how to take them.
Please take the measurements in your underwear, preferably while wearing the type of bra/underwear that you will wear under the finished dress (we recommend a supportive non-strapless bra). We are looking for the actual measurements of your body when relaxed, so no need to add any ease to your measurements, but also please don't pull the tape measure so tight that it squeezes your body at all or is uncomfortable.
Tip: We recommend tying a piece of ribbon around your natural waist first (smallest part of your waist) as this will help you to take some of your measurements
************************************************************************************************
Overbust - Take this around your chest above your bust, with the tape measure going under each armpit and around your back and meeting at the front.
Bust - This is not the same as your bra size, take this around the fullest part of your bust, taken whilst wearing whatever type of bra you would normally wear under the dress. Take the tape measure around the back and meet at the front.
Underbust measurement - Take this around the ribcage just under the bust
Natural waist - It is important that this measurement is taken at the smallest part of your waist, this is normally 1 or 2 inches above your belly button. This may be higher than where you are used to wearing your clothing. Our dresses are a vintage style fit, which sits higher on the waist compared to most modern clothing.
Low Waist - This is around the circumference of your tummy, approximately 1 inch below the belly button
Shoulder seam to underbust - Take this from the top of your shoulder with the tape measure going over the middle of one breast to the bottom of your bra (see photo) This is to make sure that the top of the waistband sits snugly just underneath your bust
Underbust to Natural Waist - This measurement is taken from underneath your bust, where you took the previous measurement to. You can use the under wiring of your bra as a starting point and take it down to where you took the natural waist measurement (this is where the ribbon comes in handy!)
This is to determine the width of the waistband on the dress, the standard width is 10.5cm/4 inches but the waistband may need to be a little narrower if you are petite or high waisted, or a little wider if you are taller or have a long torso.
Back length - Take this from the nape of your neck, the ‘knobbly bit’, down to your natural waist (again, the ribbon!)
Arm Scye - This is the measurement that determines the size of the arm holes of the garment. Please take this measurement all the way around the top of your shoulder and under your armpit so that the tape measure goes all the way around and meets at the top (see photo)
Shoulder width - This should be taken straight across the back of the shoulders, from the corner of one shoulder to the corner of the other. Please try to do this without curving the tape measure around the sides of the arms.
Skirt Length - Our default skirt length tends to be knee length, so if you would like the skirt shorter or longer, say around mid calf or ‘Tea length’, then please let us know and also take the measurement accordingly. Stand in front of a mirror and measure this by taking the tape measure from your natural waist down the middle of one leg to where you would like the skirt to finish (try not to lean forward when you do this!)
Upper arm circumference - Gently take the tape measure around the fullest part of your upper arm
Above elbow - The circumference of your arm just above the elbow
Bra Size - This can be approximate as we know it will be different in different shops.
Height - Feet or cms are both fine.
If you are happy to do so then you can also include a full body photo of yourself (this can be done while fully clothed) and add any extra information you can give us regarding your shape and any issues you commonly encounter in the fit of your clothes. This will help us ensure a good fit and might also help us identify any anomalies (inaccuracies) in the measurements you have given us.
Also, please note that this style of dress is designed to be snug fitting on the waist and close fitting on the bodice and so we generally do not add ease to the waist measurements and only add 1cm of ease to the bust and underbust measurements. However, if you do not find snug fitting, non-stretchy clothes comfortable then please let us know and we can put some extra breathing room into your garment.
