MTL: Sing Me a Song Dress
Resources
- Fabric: Dark Navy Velvet from Fashion Fabrics Club ($11 per/yd)
- Pattern: Simplicity 3833
Tips
- For the collar, do a search on Etsy for "lace white collar" in supplies. Because the collar doesn't wrap all the way around the neck in the original dress, the size of your collar doesn't have to be precise. Here's one that would probably work well.


Cute shift – did you know you are not supposed to top stitch velvet? It just looks terrible. Those are Bluff Edged pockets – Diff – i – cult. But don’t they look lovely?
You also shouldent try and press it either, you need a special velvet board which is like a metal spikey door mat. Your drycleaner might have one!
So cute. This dress makes me think of Twiggy. I’ll have to try it when my skills are up to a velvet challenge!
