I'm attempting to refine my sewing. Hence, I am only completing the bodice and lining and working on precision.
The skirt will be made of the material below:
I am lining it - although the pattern doesn't call for it. I chose a very light cotton material to line it. It is very thin - so hopefully it will work out well.
Finally, my dressform is exactly my size with the exception of the waist - which I padded. Thanks P90X! I am going to start working out for another 90 days of that program - so I guess it's conceivable I could get smaller than my dressform (oops!!). I hope so:)

Looks like you've made a great start on your Macaron!! Congrats on you weight loss! It's frustrating to be smaller than your dressform, but it does feel good on one level!
Thanks!! I only lost 10 lbs but three inches bust, waist and hips:) Weights - who knew? And now I can go sleeveless!
That fabric is WILD! I've been wanting to try some Japanese fabric. My in-laws are going in October and always bring something back for me - I may have to ask for fabric instead of the usual kimono. Can't wait to see the finished dress!
Sister - they have a fabric district there - it was closed for a religious holiday when I was in Tokyo (of course!!) - I'll look it up and get back to you!
Congratulations on your project-dressed Macaron, it looks good, now with weight loss it looks even better. I love your fabric!
What gorgeous fabric - I love the print - the dress is going to look amazing!
