here are some recent additions to my stash:
More dotted swiss! remember the pink dress of last year? Well, it will soon have a cousin (oh, and here’s me wearing it). I also bought some bright green, but it’s sold out now … I love dotted swiss. Not sure why — part of it is that I love the texture, but that can’t explain this level of devotion. perhaps because I didn’t get enough party dresses as a child? I’m making up for lost time now, in any case.
On a completely different tack is this chambray (which also comes in brown, click any image to go to the store page at fabric Mart)
I love this fabric so much I’ve been dreaming about it. I’m pretty sure this is going to be my favorite dress of this summer, if I can just decide what pattern it wants to be! It is so lovely and crisp, but it’s also lightweight. It may have to be a shirtdress like this one … maybe with a deep, topstitched hem to weigh it down? Still thinking.
This next fabric was a total splurge. way more expensive than I usually am comfortable with (although it’s plenty wide, so that’s a plus).
It’s a linen-cotten blend from Marc Jacobs, pretty heavy, I think. This is going to be a horizontally-striped dress, with the fullest skirt I can manage with the yardage I bought. Really. I saw it and thought yes THAT’S WHAT IT will BE. YES. I cannot wait.
I’m trying to remember to add fabric that I buy (or just like) to Pinterest, if you keep a fabric board too, let me know!
