Date: 6/30/09 10:14 PM I love this fabric and keep looking at it on fabricmart.com. It is now an exrta 50% off. I worry, though, that if I don't pick the right pattern, I could come out with something looking dowdy. Any ideas on a chic pattern for it? It is cotton poplin (97% cotton, 3% lycra)

Date: 6/30/09 11:02 PM I think a pencil skirt with some pleating or drape detail would look sharp and up-to-date, vintage inspired. ------

Date: 7/1/09 0:00 AM a sleeveless summer dress, maybe with a bateau neckline or scoop neck? Anything fussy would cut up those flowers. Next page>> |

From what others have said, the nasty message came from Fitting Woes, NOT Misc Hot Topics or the Civility thread.

Date: 7/1/09 10:50 AM Now how did you do that? That is neat. I don't know if it is flawed. Do you think fabricmart would be honest with me if I emailed them and asked? Thanks everyone for the ideas.

Date: 7/1/09 11:06 AM  I see flowing skirt. I see a wrap top. I also would think a wrap dress. A jacket with sold blue jalie jeans. That would look very nice. The fabric looks just fine i see no flaws. the dark part is the demtions in the leaves and the flowers.
Show us a picture of the piece you choose to make this beautiful fabric with. ------
ý1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Date: 7/1/09 5:08 PM I am going to do a sheath dress, but I want an interesting neckline. What I am thinking is S6723
in View D
but instead of the full skirt, I want to morph a straight skirt onto it.

Date: 7/1/09 6:07 PM I'd be sure to make 3/4 pants out of that, with a white fitted shirt on top... Next page>> |
