Amantra's Valentine's Day Lingerie Dress

I always try to be productive, and had this project in mind for a while. I had a deadline for its completion exactly or before Valentine's Days so I could take pretty pictures, and post this blog post on this special day.
Okay, so a little back info about my lingerie dress:

The blouse is of red lace, sleeveless, tank top styled with a pleated bottom portion. In the back, I created a medium heart shaped openning, back drop, velcrow enclosure.
The skirt is mermaid styled, of matching red lace and satin with centered black zipper enclosure at the back.
I didn't get to put the mini hearts on the dress as intended, but I'm glad I did get the dress finished overall!

Before I reveal the final photos, I'd like to recap the origin of Valentines Day.
Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.

interesting huh!

Well I made this lingerie dress out of a red lace long sleeve blouse from the local V.O.A.
I then came across a soft cream colored, silky, nylon slip that i wanted to use.
