A question for the more experienced sewing people

It would be the height of foolishness for me to attempt making a princess-seamed, full-skirted, strappy sundress dress (Kwik-Sew #3294) in stretch velvet, wouldn't it? I would end up in tears of frustration, and probably waste the very nice bubblegum pink stretch velvet I have?

I NEED (yes, really!) a full-skirted sundress out of bubblegum pink stretch velvet, I really do. I would wear it with black lace overdresses, or with fitted boleros. I have the fabric already. I'm just afraid to attempt the dress on my own, because I KNOW I will muck it up. Stretch velvet is difficult to work with, and I'm still a bit wobbly on princess seams.

::sigh::

Go on, look surprised. I'm a little bemused that Perky Goff didn't have a slightly higher score than Ethereal Goth, but eh. Wacky Fun Internetty Quizzes don't really get the various subtle strains of perkygoth. (Or Perky Goff, whichever makes you happy.)

(Speaking of the different breeds of perkygoth, I really need more black-with-pink-details NeoVictorian outfits. Yes I do. Stop rolling your eyes at me.)
