Remember this?

Remember my finished Butterfly from January?

Remember when I completed Butterfly and promised to show a modeled picture soon, but just needed to get a slip? Well, I finally got one about 3 weeks ago and it’s perfect! I need to take it in a little bit in the bust, but other than that, it works well. Plus it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg to buy. The key is not to shop in NYC!

Sorry for the bad pic, I didn’t intend to go headless for this shot!

    Fabulous! I attempted to make the cami once but the lace got the better of me.

    Gorgeous knit–I love it with the slip. Butterfly is one of my all time favorite patterns with its stunning elegance. Yours looks so perfect. Congrats on finding the perfect slip!
