Title: Fabric for "twinings" dress
Post by: Bogwoppit on May 25, 2017, 17:59:18 PM
I like the look of the outfit that the girl wears on the twinings advert - red dress and denim jacket.  Particularly as I have a denim jacket I never wear as I'm pretty much always in jeans.

As there are many on here who love searching online emporia and know more about fabric types than beginner me I thought it worth an an ask if anyone has ideas on fabric.

Here's a link to the add https://vimeo.com/120400314 (https://vimeo.com/120400314)
Hope thats allowed and not classed as advertising!

Thanks, Lisa

Some ideas, what do you think?

Maybe a bit on the pink side for me

Best so far

A bit busy

A bit too much white perhaps

I found a few on the Minerva website, but yes I think your second one is good.
