Description:

Formerly known as The Little Black Dress.

The little black dress is an essential piece in every woman’s wardrobe. It is classic, timeless, and always in style. Alexander McQueen describes it as the embodiment of a woman’s power, stark, direct, and to the point.


In this class we will cover a myriad of techniques appropriate for making your own little black dress.
