This dress has been on Team Charm’s pattern hack wishlist for years! Worn by Rosemary Clooney in the movie White Christmas, the inspiration dress is a green velvet wonder with a full overskirt belted over a slim pencil skirt. 

It’s gorgeous, but I wanted something a bit simpler. My version calls for a full circle skirt and modified sweetheart neckline, hacked off of the Peggy Bodice.

The pattern pieces and instructions for this pattern hack are available to all patrons on Patreon as a gift for the holidays! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a great start to a lovely new year!
