The Red Velvet Knit Dress features a faced circular neckline with optional petal collar and pleated underbust seam. Choose the origami-style scissor pleated skirt, or reverse it for a flat boxy-pleat effect. A cleverly concealed ticket pocket holds a few coins, cards, or lipstick.
Sizing: (see envelope back for details) Choose bodice by nearest high bust measurement. Choose midriff and skirt by closest waist measurement. When between measurements, round down for a closer fit and up for a more relaxed fit.
Fabric: (see envelope back for yardage/meterage requirements) Red Velvet is suited to a variety of knit fabric weights and types. Avoid very thin or bulky fabrics. Use quality stretch dance or lace fabrics for a fuss-free fancy dress. (Use underlining of equal stretch with lace.) Choose t-shirt type fabrics, double-layer jersey and doubleknits with good recovery for a daywear staple.
