Short lace dress with open back sewing pattern for women — Dress 188

Dress 188 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: short lace dress with open back.
Short dress with thin straps, a deep V-neckline with a ring detail, a fitted lace body and a small side cutout under the bust. The back is completely bare down to the waist, and the hem reaches mid-thigh with a close fit.
Make it in stretch lace lined with jersey with spandex, so it holds the close fit without hiding the visible lace texture. Line the whole garment inside so the lace does not scratch or show through too much.
