This dress is based on a dress description from the book Ladybird, page 199.
"like some stranger in a wonderful sleeveless low-cut gown of deep rich velvet in dark red tones. There were ropes of little pearls about her neck and hanging low on the front of her gown."
When I read this description I thought of a dress I had seen on Pinterest. I think the dress in the book would have had a belt but I took artistic license and drew MY version of the dress =). Using the the picture linked above and this one (third one from left) as well as the description from the book for inspiration I drew this dress. I made it a bias cut clingy dress with a slouch neck.
