The Fabric Store is definitely my fav. I feel I'm always at their door when there's a sale - such beautiful fabrics. Although The Fabric Warehouse in Wellington is always a good shop as well. You might need to take a trip north?!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919213120727277143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952114551081921184.post-72349006167168812352014-07-21T02:55:54.408-07:002014-07-21T02:55:54.408-07:00Oooo dark red wool crepe ... now I might have to m...Oooo dark red wool crepe ... now I might have to make a wee trip to town to check that out. I am tempted to make this again so I can try and tweak those little things that are still bugging me :-) but I have another Marfy pattern that would also suit the wool crepe. More hours in my day please!!!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919213120727277143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952114551081921184.post-27426444770711055552014-07-21T02:51:58.981-07:002014-07-21T02:51:58.981-07:00It depends on why you are using an underlying.

Silk organza is good for keeping it's shape and reducing wrinkles but a thin cotton could also work for underlining if you wanted to add a little bit more structure to your garment. Silk organza in NZ is soooo expensive, I ordered about 10m online for about $60 (may have been a little with shipping) which was so worth the initial outlay. Sorry my babble may have been a bit too babblie, hehe ... on the centre front piece I removed excess from the high bust at the princess seam, does that make more sense?Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919213120727277143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952114551081921184.post-7451563569555887632014-07-20T18:40:46.728-07:002014-07-20T18:40:46.728-07:00I am really loving shift dresses at the moment.

Such luxury! :)<br>Mind you, an LBD is the ultimate wardrobe enhancer!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952114551081921184.post-4853922463567602482014-07-20T12:01:49.887-07:002014-07-20T12:01:49.887-07:00So interesting to see the difference the underlini...So interesting to see the difference the underlining makes! I tried out underlining but was too cheap, and bought a thin cotton instead of silk organza. I think I regret it! This is a lovely dress. I'm wondering how you removed from the centre front at the high bust only, didn't that mess up cutting on the fold?Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719917783641156738noreply@blogger.com
