DIY LV Christmas Dress Sew Along | Emma Chamberlain & Phoebe Dynevor Approved | Thrills and Stitches

Let's make another festive dress that is not only perfect for Christmas (since it is Grinch-green) but also style-approved by the likes of YouTube star Emma Chamberlain and actress Phoebe Dynevor.

The dress follows a design by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton and was featured on the Elle UK November cover, which is where I first saw it.

I fell in love with it's beautiful color and the contrasting white zips, so I went ahead and created a DIY version of it! I will take you through the creation process step by step in a sew-along style video.

You will need:

- 4 meters of green fabric (I chose satin)
- 3 meters of matching lining fabric
- 3 bright white, chunky jacket zips
- Matching green thread

I will upload another video explaining the pattern drafting in a few days.
