My Christmas elf outfits used this same dress pattern, except the neckline had been made smaller - add 3/16" inside the neckline and use the existing cutting edge as the sewing line. The Christmas elf dresses are also high-waisted, with the bodice front and backs cut 3/16" shorter. I used a fancy gold trim along the skirt hem and sleeves, then did a row of chain-stitch along the bottom of the trim, and added beading.

Make a fancy dress using velvet or brocade for the bodice, and wide lace for the skirt. Wear over a second layer of lace or an opaque matching coloured slip. The beaded neckline is done with a picot stitch.
