Finding fabric in New Jersey is tough. Most fabric stores carry interior design fabrics with little to know fashion fabrics. With only a couple of weeks to get the materials and make the entire gown, I turned to Mood Fabrics. I knew that their online selection would be smaller than what they carry in the stores, but that I would definitely find something on such short notice.
It didn't take long before I found a beautiful floral print of different shades of neutral browns, creams, and mauve. It was perfect. The fabric was a silk chiffon, and I ordered an off-white china silk for both the lining and underlining.
From start to finish, I completed the whole process in about a week and a half. I added my hand made label (thanks to my mom), as the finishing touch.
As they become available, I will share photos of my friend wearing the dress. Can't wait to keep you posted! Stay tuned!
