Here's one for all you fabric watchers  - I'm after purple or violet cotton  or poly cotton poplin. Need it to be a good weight, not the very flimsy stuff.  Also need the same in fuchsia to  line the thing. Any ideas please?

I need to make another Bata de cola skirt and I though purple underlined with fuchsia would be great! Thanks for the suggestions -I like the Croft Mills best - the weight is appropriate. Not had time to look on Ebay but will do so later!

Iminei, those fabulous loooooong tailed heavy flouncy delights that the clever dancers boot out of the way as they wiggle.  Fab-tastic!

That's it DF Tick VG and gold star! 

I will try to upload pix of the ones I've made before but it seems not to want to play nicely >:)

Here you go - one I made earlier! The beast needs 4 yards of top fabric, 4 yards of lining, 6yard fabric for top frills and the same for the underside frill. 20 yards in total.

Here's another one - I made 5 of these , with extra frills!

 As you can probably see it was too small for the mannequin - we don't usually wear them unzipped like that!

Bummer - the Croft Mills one is too narrow - I need 150cm to get the bits on.  Back to drawing board!
