I had this amazingly soft black knit and knew that I wanted to make a simple black dress with it. I just used a pattern I had created from an existing dress (I also used that same pattern to make
this dress). Once it was completed, I knew it was lacking something. So I hit up my local Jo-anns for trim inspiration and found the most amazing gold spike trim. Spikes have a tendency to to be pretty loud, so adding it just to the shoulders gave it a little extra oomph without going too far. Just a little pop of color on the shoe and that's pretty much all that was needed!
