Fabric and Patterns for the Wedding Suit!

The verdict is in! The fabric has been found. I went to Houston to see my daughter over the weekend in Houston and found just the right thing at High Fashion Fabrics. Actually, Stefanie found the fabric for the coat: a grey satin with beading. It was too much for the dress, so I found an off white crepe that was beefy and had wonderful drape.


Here are the fabrics:


The cream is a crepe fabric. The Satin is grey with beading. I have also made changes to my pattern selections. For the crepe fabric, I am making this Michael Kors design:




The jacket will be from this pattern:


I will be using a pearl and rhinestone button for the closure instead of the ribbon.


I will start working on the muslin for the dress this weekend. The big challenge will be the FBA. Stay tuned!

  2. That is going to be gorgeous! I can't wait to see your MK dress. I plan to make that one soon too and I'm concerned about the FBA. So I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress.
