gwendolyngreyNow that my mad Star Wars rush is over I have time to relax and turn my thoughts towards the summer. My next project must be a new dress for faire...I need an Elizabethan, NEED it I say!!! So anyway, I have until July 23rd which gives me nearly two months which means that I can breath and start the search for fabric. I'm roughly recreating this dress (love the color combination) and have an orange silk that will do, but am having an awful time finding the right type of blue. If anybody has seen anything anywhere that would work then please, please help me!

I've ordered a swatch of this (A4 size) and its GORGEOUS! Its a very good taffeta and for UK prices is actually a very good price per metre! Usually for something this good we have to pay something like £25 per metre (which roughly equates to $55 dollars!)
Feel free to contact me if you needed help in getting it.
Bess.

Date: 2005-05-23 12:07 pm (UTC)I'm not sure where my swatch is at the moment - I think its in the house which I'm moving to this weekend. I can find it next week and if so would you like half of it - as I said, its a big swatch!
I can contact you once I've found it!
