What can I say? I like red dresses.Mtl-twostepjpg

Tips

  • Red piping should be used at the hemline, bodice wrap-around and armholes.
  • If you want a look truer to the original, you can modify the wrap pieces to provide more of a princess neckline.

    I like the pattern better than the original dress. I wish we had a large supply of patterns over here…

    I’m thinking of using piping similar to this in a dress I want to make but I’ve never done it before. Any advice?
