    It is fab! Would prefer it in a lighter colour though.

    What fabric did you buy and where did you buy it? xx

    White sapphire - I had a quick look, it is gorgeous, but blooming photobucket just makes the laptop go all dizzy. I'm sure the finished article will be beautiful.

    I've bought some oyster silk; similar in colour to that Dera dress, but a bit warmer, more like a darker champagne colour. It's got a shimmer to it, but isn't too shiny, cos I didn't want satin. Oh, and it drapes amazingly!
