Retro Chique. Very nice. What is that fabric? Curious…

So, the fabric is a poly-blend that looks like suede with hints of bronze and gold metallic brushing. It was a gamble, to say the least, but the thicker weight worked really well in giving it some structure and I think the metallic animal-ish print gave it a little twist on an old style. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks for that. The fabric looks quite lustrous. A stunner at a cocktail party ;) Bet it’s wonderfully tactile…

I so like this dress. It looks very elegant. I have this pattern and was meaning to make it for a long time. Now I will definitely make it
