Just made it up!


I have a favorite knit little black dress that I wanted to clone. I found this fabulous fabric at High Fashion that is just rows and rows of small ruffles with an overall animal print. I bought a little over a yard and used my favorite LBD as a pattern, simply leaving a seam allowance. I actually used both selvedge edges as part of the dress. One selvedge had little points all along it (see below) so I cut a strip of this to put around the neckline to add a little flounce. The other selvedge was nice and plain with quite a bit of stretch to it so I used it to bind the armholes. Voila! Instant fabulous little brown dress! The motto here is "don't be afraid to experiment! What's the worst that can happen?"

  1. Love it! You've just reminded me that I have some similar (kind of) fabric that needs to have something done to it.
