burgundy velvet dress

Description

This was the first 'real/seious' costume I ever made. Before this I'd made a very shapeless red velvet skirt and bodice thingy, and a few other small things here and there in junior high, but finally I started really sewing for myself sometime in high school.

It's still one of my very favorites, although I wish the skirt was a bit fuller on the bottom...oh well. I used a pattern for the main part of the dress and then made up my own thing for the sleves. I was quite pleased at how the fore-arm with the slashes turned out except I keep thinking I need to add something underneath to stiffen it up so it doesn't pucker or slide down my arm so much - it's rather annoying to be constantly pulling at one's sleves.
