I have this pattern, Vintage Vogue 2858, that I love and has been sitting in my pattern drawer since it went out of print. Like, oh, 2008? It is beautiful, but so far remains unused.
It shall be unused no more! I have 3.5 yards of gorgeous red velvet with which to make the long, evening version. It shall be decorated with gold braid, the skirt lined in a gold fabric, and I will acquire red opera-length gloves and red and gold shoes.
Do you see where I’m going with this dress? I hope you do because it’s part one of three for my next big art project. There will be sunbursts and LEDs and a truly amazing 40s hat.
