this printed material caught my eye from the moment i walked into my fave fabric store. i fell in love with prints – - and i immediately thought i would create something 1960-ish; it turned out to be a sheer cotton, i bought it anyway. i have leftover white japanese cotton and chinese silk lining material, so i created a simple dress (a copy of renee zellweger’s character’s pink dress in movie “down with love”)that can be worn as it is or with a blazer or this season’s trench coat
sheer printed cotton, white cotton, chinese silk (for lining), invisible zipper

Thank you for your feedback. I make my own patterns, but i found this pattern at burdafashion that you could try: http://www.burdafashion.com/en/News__Trends/Slide_Shows/Top_Five_Downloads/1609183-1702539-1733340.html. this is an empire waist blouse, you could lengthen to make it a dress. Use solid color for the top (chest area), and printed for the rest. Good Luck!
