Making a Draped Velvet Dress, Part One

Another year, another holiday dress. This one is a bit simpler than my previous ones, but I still really like it! In this video I construct the base and cut out the dress. \r

\r
The velvet was purchased in the garment district, its flat backed micro velvet. The base fabric is a stiff quilters cotton. \r
\r
You can buy plastic from onlinefabricstore.net, michaels.com, or in the notion section of most stores that sell fabric. The clear ruler is a quilting ruler, you can get them online or from fabric stores. \r
\r
The reason the bodice is so heavily boned is because the neckline is really deep, and I wanted everything to stay in place. \r
\r
The pattern was drafted by me! \r

Im behind on blogging - the associate post should be up in the next couple days!\r
