what Taiwan needs is more color...

A few weeks ago I went shopping for fabric in Wanhua, the old part of the city, with my in-laws. We were looking for material that we might use to make a wedding banquet dress for me. I suggested this pattern, a much-loved Taiwanese floral, but they didn't seem too excited about the idea. They didn't say that it would make me look like a couch, but that's what they were thinking. I know it.

  1. I LOVE this fabric... I have a vintage 1950s dress pattern and want to use this to make it. My parents are bringing my Singer how to sew book over, so hopefully I can get started on it after the banquet is over. I don't think it'd make you look like a couch... however, I am worried about the placement of the flower clusters on the bodice for my dress. If I don't do it carefully, I can very well end up looking like I have one big, flowery distended boob.
