I desperately needed a new dress, there are so many birthdays and parties coming up. Only tomorrow we are going to one birthday at lunchtime, a graduation in the afternoon and a grand dinner/ dance in the evening. There was nothing for it, I had to sew a dress. I took out a stash of fabrics: Black cotton corduroy (not really suitable for a fine dinner). Gingham cotton (not so sure), silver striped organza, teal crepe, white silk crepe, and a light teal lace.
In the end I chose the silver striped organza and decided to line it with the white silk crepe. My grandfather gave me that crepe for my wedding dress but I didn't use it then (I went for a light cream silk dupioni). I really wanted to use it for a nice dress and now is my chance.
It was a bit fiddly to work with these two slippery fabrics together but it worked out really well in the end and I am very happy with the result.
