Fashion Friday: Fabric and pattern picks


TGIFF? Yep!
After an online search I decided I didn't want to wait for any fabric to get to me so I went to JoAnn's this afternoon. There was some wandering and lots of fabric touching but amidst all the others I found it.
I had dreams of a floral fabric for my May wedding guest dress and I think this is it:


Hubs says it's a little crazy but maybe that's why I am so drawn to it. He will be wearing a dark bright blue suit, I know that sounds weird but when you see what color his suit is it makes sense! The same dark blue that's in this print. I had my eye on a few different kinds of fabrics but they were either too floral/little girl or solid and I ALWAYS go solid. I have enough time that if I don't like it I can make or even buy something else. 
Now the pattern I chose was just a chance encounter. The simplicity patterns were $1 and I was looking through the book when this one jumped out at me:
I love the top of the second dress and the detail in the bodice I plan on making it short but I am loving the long one. I know I said fit and flare but I am scared that if I put a big skirt on it the dress will look too casual and strange next to Hubs schmancy suit. We'll see once the bodice is made how it's looking. 

Stay tuned for some dress making updates!
