Dress Fabric

So I started the dress making course....it's going well

I'm making the colette peony dress.

Here's a sneak preview of the fabric:

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the fabric.  I purchased it from fabric rehab.  I got a sample and it appeared to be light weight, but when I got the actual fabric itself it was a lot heavier than I expected. I don't think it's going to have a nice hang.  So I ordered some more styles from ebay.  I think I shall persevere with this garment as it is and then perhaps try another dress after the class with a lighter fabric.
