I came across a gorgeous red ombre brocade at Value Village, and decided to make a gown using the same pattern as the pink and mauve elf gowns, but with a totally different look. So I gathered fabrics and trims I thought might work with it...
This dress was made the same way as the two elf gowns, so I'm not going to explain every little detail in this post today. It's all in the Elf Gown Tutorial. The only difference is that this gown has a layered bodice with long fitted fabric sleeves and totally different hanging sleeves.
