This fabric is actually one of the garment-inappropriate home decor materials with a very open weave, stiff / coarse feel, and not machine washable.

I didn't know that shopping in the home section is what you've been doing & this is where you've found your latest fabrics. Neat! Now usually for dresses like this, if you did it by pattern, do you use an invisible zipper & place it on the back side?AubreyOhDang!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14376314594766169583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-18477010095481740702012-08-07T02:16:49.607-07:002012-08-07T02:16:49.607-07:00You pick awesome fabrics.
