Morgana's Red Dress

Morgana's red dress first appears in Season 2 with the episode 3 .
We often find this dress with the red velvet cape.



The dress is composed of one simple dress (bustier dress maybe) 
made of linen fabric and over it a
red velvet bolero with embroideries. 



At the end of the sleeves of the bolero and along the collar we can find silk- chiffon fabric. 




There is one golden metal button at each sleeve (at the end of the sleeve between the velvet and chiffon fabric).

DO IT YOURSELF :

For the dress, I used the Butterick 4827 pattern model A and lightly changed the collar shape. For the bolero, you can use the Burda 2526 pattern model B and change the collar shape and the bolero length. 

You will need about 3,5 meters of red linen fabric (without lining) for the dress and about 1,5-2 meters of red velvet fabric.













You will need 2 gold metal buttons and a red invisible zip (or hooks / straps). 

For the embroidery, you need to buy : needles for hand-embroiding, 3 threads / yarns (red, silver and gold color), (about 25) white beads, red transparent diamond-shaped - crystal beads(2 different sizes), gold sequins, silver sequins and ocher / ochre color sequins.

BOLERO PART :

I lightly changed the collar shape to make one bigger and lower. Then I cut the chiffon into strips. For the sleeve I only sewed it to the sleeve tip, and along the collar, I first creased the fabric in using a simple hand-stitch then I sewed it to the collar (with the hem).

I made the embroidery once all the bolero was sewed. I recommend you to first draw the embroidery on paper before starting the embroidery to make it clear for you. I started the main shape with the white thread then the gold thread (in using the embroidery stitch : "")
Moreover, I made the "leafs" shape with the ocher sequins, then the "hearts" shape with the gold one and finished by sewing the silver sequins. Then I sewed the red and white beads.

WARNING : As you can see, on the lower part of the embroidery the gold embroidery stitch (which makes a branch) is wrapped by a red thread (feel free to add it to your embroidery).

*Once your embroidery made, you can add a zip or hooks to the bolero.

LINKS FOR TUTORIALS :
*Wrapped Pearls
* Embroidery for Beginners (the blending embroidery floss "3:35" for the gold wrapped with red)
*Hand Embroidery for Beginners ( the chain stitch "6:32" is, according to me, the better stitch for the main shape with the silver thread. But you need to do smaller stitches). For the gold thread, check the leather stitch "7:23".
