Dress plans

qp_archiveFabric store trip today, a successful one. I got fabric to make a variation on this pattern: the long skirt from view B (on the right) with the front and back V-neck from view C (center). Eventually I plan to make a shorter version of B in some fun summer fabric. The fabric I got is a silk broadcloth, fairly lightweight and somewhere between a warm grey and a taupe, with an ivory lining that makes it look warmer and less boring. I also got sheer purple-grey ribbon that I can use as accent on the neck and in the bodice seams (sewing it into the seams and letting the edge poke out).
I also got a half-yard of a beautiful ivory silk from the remnant bin. While I have my own nefarious plans for some of it, it also happens to match the lining and go with the dress, so half of it may be made into a scarf and lined with dress scraps, since it's not two-sided.
Beats me when I'll get the chance to work on this. If I can borrow the sewing machine, maybe I can work on it during break; if not, maybe cut it out now and start the sewing when I visit my aunt over Spring Break? That does, of course, require me knowing what I want to do...
Oh... and the dress and notions came to about $45. Makes me very, very happy. As does the curry and Garlic!Naan for supper.
