velvet retro dress ANNA Velvet- 1950s vintage with pleat at back From a 1950s pattern to life Unique Vintage Black Velvet Front

In Winter, you might opt for a wool dress

Making my own version of this dress has taught me so much, as every project does, and in this case I loved learning that what I've been doing all these years already- deconstructing thrifted garments and materials and upcycling them into things that I really want and love is exactly how this dress came to be in the first place

The Exception: Simple fabrics like Satin, Mikado, or Chiffon can be handled at home, but only if they are not heavily embellished

We love interacting with our brides and parties to see what brides are looking for

If I didnt have one, I would have simply made one and from a deep green velvet
