Thanks for the advice, your write up is going to provide invaluable when sewing this up I'm sure! I've got some printed cotton at home that I'm tempted to use but I think it might not be quite stiff enough for the shape of this dress, I think thin with not much of a drape may be the way to go thenFiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-9548779284621468672012-03-16T16:28:17.191+00:002012-03-16T16:28:17.191+00:00Neither can I!

My advice: use the thin vs. thick collar for the neckline. The thick one didn't work out so well for me (it got all wavy around the edges). If you want to see how mine kinda turned out, I blogged about it here: http://retrorabbithole.blogspot.com/2012/02/double-feature-eduction.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-91141484231366231792012-03-15T18:36:18.045+00:002012-03-15T18:36:18.045+00:00I love it when things like this happen!
