This is actually one of the priciest sewing projects/dresses I have made in a long while as the fancy rayon was $19 a yard! I really wish nice vintage-ish rayons were more accessible, I'll add that to the business plan ;)Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-9131130955041562512016-08-02T20:57:15.070-06:002016-08-02T20:57:15.070-06:00Thanks Mim! :)Thanks Mim! :)Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-44667885787842372452016-08-02T20:57:03.665-06:002016-08-02T20:57:03.665-06:00Thank you Emileigh!

It is actually modern rayon fabric, or possibly 80s/90s deadstock as the fabric shop I purchased it at has been open a very long time and has no system at all of inventory management. The place is called Allyns Bridal Fabrics and is a local Denver fabric shop. This rayon was however one of the most expensive fabrics I have ever purchased at $19 a yard!
