Fabric Quest...

This post really is not really complete, and shan't be until I find the booty that is the perfect fabric for my Candour Gown. Now I'm all for fabric shopping, and the time it takes before you find that perfect specimen to use for a garment you are creating. the rush is quite intoxicating and part of the creative fun. But honestly the quest for this project is not at all the experience I wanted. I'm a picky person, so when sketching up my design I had the ideal thought for my fabric, a stiffer Silk Taffeta with possible embroidered Flowers that were gargantuan, in a bright yellow as backdrop and darker red for the flowers. Seems simple right? Well clearly fabric weavers, don't think so, because every fabric I found was either too gold, or too beige, or had the effect I dreaded, the inverse, where red was the FLASH colour, while he flowers were embroidered in an almost tarnished gold. To be honest, its coming down the wire hear, the semester is almost over, and we need these fabrics in order to complete our projects, and I'm afraid that I'll have nothing to show for my hard work, or worse scrap my colour palette in order to find the right fabric. That is a concern that I have, but seriously can easily remedied, since in my mind the dress can work in a pink tone, possibly purple, but we'll have to see what I find. As of right now I don't have any idea what to find, what too look for or what to expect but Wish me luck as I try to make Candour the REAL deal.
