black embroidered chiffon with a linear pattern – for the sleeves and body of the sheer dress pleated hard organza tulle – to create the the “ruff” along the yoke seamline 4″ wide double edged black cotton lace – for the ruffle that runs down the center front of the dress 1/2″ black cotton floral lace – for trimming the yoke, the neckline edge, and sleeve cuffs Construction Details I did deviate and embellish upon the Simplicity pattern in the following ways to make our Lydia Deetz dress as close to the original as possible: cut the long sleeve pieces on the bias to get the embroidered striping on the chiffon to run on the diagonal cut the bottom ruffle piece along the on edge of the fabric and utilized the selvedge for the finished hem slightly ruffled a length of double edge floral cotton lace trim to run down the center front of the dress embellished the centered ruffle with black knot buttons originally purchased from ButtonsNDesign on Etsy combined half of the double edge cotton lace with pleated hard organza to create the stiff ruff at the yoke finished off the yoke ruff, neckline and cuffs with 1/2″ cotton floral trim created a button closure as the sheer fabric would have a difficult time supporting a zipper made a belt with a velcro closure made from a scrap of black crepeback satin, crepey side out made a lace rosette for the belt by gathering some of the wide cotton lace Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose As with any costume, correct follow through on the details adds authenticity to the overall effect
