Curtain-Along Fabric.

Presently Amazon has the cream colored curtains for $19.99 a pair so I am FINALLY going to get my fabric this Wednesday! I really like the ivory ones better, I think the contrast is more striking, but no one seems to have any except a fully-lined set for $100.00 which is way over budget. But as pale as I am the cream is probably a much better option for me anyway. Now I have to decide which dress I want to make before I place my order....decisions.

Curtain-along dress ideas

I have been looking through all of the lovely images and have narrowed my choices down to a few...

This one is by far my favorite, and in the cream fabric as well.  I would make a few changes to the top of it though, as I like it because it reminds me of a design I fell in love with in The Patriot. It has 3 straps across the stomacher I believe as well as one that is more detailed. I need to hunt up a photo of it. I really would LOVE to do this one, but it is alot of fabric so I will have to see if I can work this into my budget.


Love the bottom of this one.


This is another strong contender. I have always loved these and it would not take nearly the fabric as the first one. Also, I like how it hangs over the bum, as having a sizeable one, this might really be flattering.

"Great balls of fire...they are my portiers now!"


I have been wanting to make myself something FOREVER, which of course just doesn't seem to happen, so I was really intrigued when I saw this. Just the kick in the pants I need to get started!!! Will be sifting through all the lovely images of inspiration that the webmistress was kind enough to post :)
