I made simple long sleeved dresses with zipper backs for them that year. I used a cheap velvety feeling black fabric, I don't remember what it was. I may have picked it up during Halloween when there is a good variety of dark fabrics on sale. The green is a poly/satin blend.
These were the days before I had a serger, so I made french seams down the sides of the skirts to keep them from fraying. Even when making a limited use garment, french seams will save your sanity! Fraying seams drive me insane, can you tell?
I added a little ruffle to black socks and a bow for a hairband. Just some finishing touches to pull the whole look together.
