Style 2241 from 1978
Enter this fabric (put your sunglasses on)....
A special offer £1 per metre crepe from Mandors. Yes, it is printed with neon flowers and in my view, treads that fine line between fabulous and hideous. I have 3 metres of it, which would be enough to make my preferred view (number 2) from the pattern.
What do you think - neon nightmare or electric dream?

electric eclectic neon dream!!! It's perfect for that amazing 70's dress!;-)
ReplyDeleteElectric dream, electric dream! Do it! That fabric has me drooling :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with it! What a find! x
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! You could try the gathered version and if you felt it had too much of a maternity feel you could scale it down to the non gathered version.
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS!!! I love it! I cannot wait to see it made up! View 2 is my favourite from that pattern.
ReplyDeleteElectric dream! Go for it! Make sure you have some fabulous sandals to go with it once it's finished!
ReplyDeleteI think YES YES YES!
ReplyDeleteI have this fabric too (from Croft Mill though) and I'm in two minds about it too! Saying that, I actually think it would be great for View 2 of your pattern, the drape is perfect for it too. And you can always wear a skinny belt to cinch the waist in if necessary. I love your pattern/fabric combo!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!! What about extending it to maxi length? The midi length on the pattern envelope is probably what makes it seem a little maternity-ish. But the fabric is fab!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, the length isn't helping. I think this pattern could be a good base for a maxi dress, which I was thinking about making, but not sure if I have enough of this fabric. But you've got me thinking that I could use it for a maxi too - thanks!
DeleteI love it. Use that fine line for some double Dutch. I think its a great combo.
ReplyDeletetotally electric dream.. love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat will look groovy! I agree that it would be nice in a longer length.
ReplyDeleteIt will be ace! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteElectric dream! Its how you wear it that makes the difference.
ReplyDeleteFabric is a great match for the pattern, I would go wither shorter on the length on all the way to the floor :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely electric dream!!! I'm loving a bit of navy and neon at the moment! Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is absolutely amazing, and I think it's such a good choice for your pattern - I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteYou know that fabric is very narrow don't you? I think you would have to go sleeveless if you only have 3 metres. A maxi dress would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI think that suits views 1 or 2 best. I love the print but envisioning it in view three might be a bit moomoo-ish. I agree with Roobeedoo on the maxi!
