After finishing the strapless portion of the bodice, I turned my attention to the lace overlay. I created overlay with two layers--one with silk organza and one with lace. I used the organza to give the lace some structure in the bodice, and did not use it in the sleeves.
The french darts were clipped to about 1/4 of an inch on the silk organza. To create the darts on the lace, I cut along the floral pattern on the lace and then overlapped it and slip-stitched it to the other side.
Once the two layers had been completed, I basted them together at the neckline, armscyes, and back edges. When the bodice was complete, I sewed up the sleeves and attached them!
