Apologies to those who have seen this post in other groups but I want to get as many ideas as possible! :-)
I have approx. 4 meters of absolutely lovely champagne-coloured burn- out stretch velvet. I want to make some type of dress or tunic or ??? I intend to wear the result to a philosophy cafe evening this fall and want to impress the crap out of someone.
Any and all pattern suggestions, links to pics, etc are

This might work
Dear Erin,
If you use the pattern that Melinda suggests (it's lovely), there's a possibility that you can leave out the zipper. If you don't have a serger, use a tiny zigzag to give extra stretch to the seams. Zippers are tricky in velours, unless you have a bit of experience. Or you could use an invisible zipper.

Let me pull out my patterns this afternoon (have to straighten the sewing room this afternoon) and I will give you my list...lol, yes, I have a few that would work.

Fortunately, long ago in a galaxy far, far away (South Carolina to be exact and it is a LONG ways away from Sweden!!!), I cut my teeth on stretch velvets/velours because I was just too ignorant to know they are tricky!
