Unfortunately, I will have to call this a muslin. I love the design (which I made myself) and colour but this fabric is just too nasty. That’s why it doesn’t have a zipper and is unfinished at the top.
I’ll be on the hunt for a better fabric.

Cool design! Sorry to hear that the fabric didn’t work out but you definitely should make another!

The fabric is really very static and it fray quite badly. Both things which don’t show in the pictures.

I really love the colour, and the shape is quite glamorous. I bet you would get some attention entering a room in that! I would like to see a finished copy. What don’t you like about the fabric? isn’t that what gives it the nice drape?

Pity about the fabric as the draping detail at the front is really nice!
