Desperately seeking…

by Claire on November 22, 2009

Fabric. Seriously. I want to make this dress and I can’t for the life of me find this plaid (or is it a tartan?) I’ve searched almost every online fabric site, even emailed one great site (no response) and I can’t find it.

So, I’m throwing out the request to any of my bloggy buddies who sew or know fabric to help me find this plaid. I want to make the dress *exactly* like it is on the model. The most important feature in the fabric that I’m concerned with is the size of the repeat. If the plaid is more purples than red, or another color, that’s fine, but I am looking for the black base and large pattern. I think the larger repeat is more flattering on me than a smaller repeat.

To coordinate with the dress, I bought these boots this week online – got an additional 20% off – gotta love that. Just hoping they’ll fit! I’ve not worn boots in years, and I’m feeling confident that I can fit in these.

So, if I can find the fabric, that dress with the boots will be my Christmas outfit this year. And I promise to get pictures even if I have to lug out the tripod and do it myself.
