Little Red Dress

Mia is ready to attend a Christmas recital in her little red dress. Although a little black dress is the classic look, a little red dress adds lot of fun to any event.

 Mia's red velvet dress is made from a simple A-line pattern. There's lots of swing to the skirt and it can be dressed up with a belt, necklace or other accessories.

I loved the look of the little red dress so much that I decided to make Mia another outfit with the same pattern.  Since I had lots of red velvet material, I cut a second dress from the same pattern and then covered it with black lace.  This gives the dress an entirely new look.

Here's a close-up of the lace. This gives the dress a very formal look.  Mia can't wait to attend tonight's charity benefit!
