Ok, I've had this fabric for a couple months now.

I am SO ready to cut it. What would you make? Link me a pattern or an inspiration dress.

HELP A SISTA OUT!!!

One side is solid and the other side is metallic. Of COURSE I want to use the metallic side and maybe the solid side as contrast or something.

Ok. GO! lol

Thanks guys!

How about Simplicity 1877? The ruffles on the skirt portion would showcase both sides of the fabric.

I’m no good for inspiration, that’s why I blog but it looks like Sheila gave you some very good options. I’m sure whatever you make will be stunning.

I have been in this situation more times than I care to remember too and it is so frustrating! I would suggest separates, so you could mix and match but could wear them together.
Example…using this fabric, make your favorite TNT straight skirt. Pair it with something like this top (which makes use of your contrasting fabric). http://www.simplicity.com/p-2338-junior-special-occasion-separates.aspx
Wa la! You have a two piece dress and a top or skirt to wear with something else too, no limitations! You coud use any top you like, not just the one I suggested! Good Luck!

I was thinking a very simple design since your fabric is so fabulously flashy. A one shoulder number—using the top as one color and the bottom the other and having a cute belt to tie the 2 together. The ladies above had some great suggestions. Have fun deciding;)

Okay, I don’t have a particular pattern or inspiration dress in mind but how about a long Grecian toga style dress? I’m thinking very elegant.

what about a high/low skirt so that one side can show?

I’m with Tanya–I couldn’t help ya! But I think the ladies above are on the right track! Its really pretty fabric, and I look forward to seeing what you create with it!

How about a wrap dress with a contrasting ruffle across the chest? I’ll look to see if I can find a pattern.
That material is so pretty. Can’t wait to see what you end up with…not to mention the shoes!

Maybe Vogue V7898? With the best contrasting?

A strapless silver dress with a little clutch bag out of the blue side.
