I had been planning this dress for over a month. I knew it was going to be red but I also wanted to add black as well. I have a couple of all red dresses and was making this one a little different. I went to my red stash of yarn and chose the yarns I wanted to use. I knew that the bottom of the dress was going to use the discontinued Jaegar Fur yarn. I had ten balls of the yarn and was waiting for a good occasion to use the yarn. This was the perfect time. The majority of the yarns I used were 2 ply and 3 ply yarns. I wanted to stay away from bulky yarn. Some of the yarns had only a small amount and I used it until it ran out.
I was going to use all 10 balls of Jaegar, but I realized 10 would be to many and used 6 balls of yarn. When I finished I thought it was too much fur but I liked it and I left it
I received plenty of compliments for the dress. They loved the fur at the bottom and was touching it. Good thing it was not on top. I am so glad that I stayed with the fur on the dress.
These are some other attendees from the evening in their red and black. The dress worked out perfectly for the event.
