The Little Black Dress

What girl doesn't need a little black dress?  Here's a simple little black dress that has lots of swing in the hem.

The dress is made from black velvet. It has a squared neckline and stops just above the knees.

This dress is made from a vintage '70's pattern. The pattern is for a Chrissy doll, but I added a bit more width to the pattern and it fits the American Girls perfectly.

I love to change the look around by adding a belt. I just tied the taffeta belt around the waist of this dress to add a little detail and change the look of the dress.  The nice thing about a little black dress is that you can play it up with lots of different details and accessories.  This is one of Daphne's favorite dresses!
