A little update - I made a toile and it went together really easily and quick but...... I don't think I like it
I'm not convinced it does anything much for me. I think as a long evening dress it would look ok but a short version just wasn't quite right; bit too frumpy and too young for my age (not sure how could it be both but it was!) and a bit too bridesmaid-ish
So my next plan is to make the liberty silk into a shirt dress (I have a TnT pattern and I think the fabric would work well as a shirt dress).
And for the wedding I'm now thinking a dress like
this so a plain style dress (I have two dress patterns that I've used a couple of times that would work) and a bold fabric with the contrast neck and belt bands. I've got my eye on
this . I love foxes and I think this print has enough flowers on it so that the foxes don't really stand out too much, a little subtle quirkiness!
