And boy o'boy are they pretty! I am in love with the colors.
The outside body of the dress is going to be the turquoise silk fabric and the lining is the red silk. I ordered both of them from C & J Textiles. The turquoise is the CJ 1500 double face satin in peacock, and it is amazing! It has a stiffer hand and decadent feel, it will be perfect for the 1950's style dress I want. The red lining is the CJ 100 crepe de chine in color # 267. It is real soft and more drapey. I am so excited about making my dress! I am going to draft the pattern and make the first muslin in April, in time for my couture sewing class I am taking in May.
that is going to be the MOST stunning dress!
