What to make with this crepe

Picked up this floral koshibo crepe (5m) and I'm not sure what to make with it.
I have a fair few patterns I've picked up over the last couple of years and not made up yet but not sure crepe is right for them.
I'm thinking maybe a dress but is it too busy? Maybe that nice vogue skirt with faux overskirt pattern I have knocking about

I would definitely do a dress. Probably something long-ish with sleeves.
But a top would also be nice. I'm imagining a sleeveless top with a twist front.

Definitely a dress. The fall collections (even though this fabric is summery) are showing wonderful classic shirt dress styles with full skirts and comfortably sized bodices. I would think that would carry over to next spring/summer.

Oooh that's a good idea Esme - hadn't thought of a shirt style dress like that. I'll have a look at the fall collections from the big designers

Would make a wonderful dress. One with lots of movement.

Definitely a dress - and, depending on the width, you might have enough left for a blouse as well.

I'm thinking this!
I'd need to take a few inches off but otherwise it looks like it could be the one. What do you think?
