I was given this beautiful material after my brother-in-laws wedding in 2004. My in-laws purchased it for the red carpet in the aisle. The wedding was held outside but the material washed up great. There was around 10 yards of it. A year after their wedding we both had girls and so I made them matching dresses out of some of it and a doll outfit. Well, I really liked this skirt pattern but it called for a lot of material and I didn't want to purchase that amount so as I was digging through my leftovers I found this piece. There was enough (since I had to cut the material with a nap it took up more) to make this skirt (I have leftovers to make a few more doll outfits.) The skirt turned out to be quiet heavy and so I tightened the elastic quite a bit. Since it is for after I have the baby I couldn't model it quite yet. It is floor length so I will have to wear it with heels. Again because it was made of leftovers it essentially cost me nothing to make.
Very pretty!
