Sorry, Mrs. C.: you thought the gargantuan cuff mad and Victorian, and it was definitely Steampunkish, but I thought it might attack me, Zombie-like, so the lace went away. For this weekend's event it's better so, for I will be playing an airship stewardess. Later we can address a more proper lace effect, with better lace, better placed.
What we lack for this event:
- overskirt belt
- sewing bias folds above the skirt flounce
- tacking down the overskirt trim (the bias fold part of that will come later)
- lace at neckline
- airship insignia
- hat!

I rather like the sleeves without lace. Black venice lace would be beautiful. Perhaps the white lace was too much contrast with the muted colors.
I forgive you! It is all so beautiful and I love the idea of a Steampunk air steward. No "coffee, tea or me?" nonsense I am sure!
Time flies by! I hope you have fun at the event this weekend!
The dress turned out lovely - can't wait to seeing you wearing it! Don't forget your camera :)

Thank you all! Yes, I shall be a most proper steward, plus I shall be armed :}
You have a good idea about using the black lace. Post event, time for research.
This project has flown...what with so much else going on.
Hugs,
Natalie
