The overdress is of rayon velvet in the color lime shimmer. The underdress is of white cotton lace over
a lining of avocado green organza. The basic pattern used for both parts Vogue 1737.
As there were few pictures of this dress when I made it, and is does not get much screen time
in the films, so a lot of what was done is only guess work on my part. From photos of the advertising standee
it was fairly obvious that the main pattern was similar to the blood red dress so I began there, choosing a
pattern with the boat neckline and no darts. I did not use a zipper.
When the commercial standee became available I purchased that also and made a few additional changes.
Since I planned to wear this dress while dancing, it has loops installed under the edges of the train,
where the godets insert into the main side seams.
