I bought the shear floral fabric from a thrift store. It was a little cafe curtain, and I was waiting for the perfect use for it. Then I ordered the gold Joel Dewberry fabric for some pillows. But when it came, I didn't like it for the pillows, but I think it is lovely with the curtain fabric for this dress.
Right now I am into the apron look, so I did an open slit down the back.
