Ever since Mena (Sew Weekly) posted this I have been looking to recreated this dress. I finally have the right pattern (Simplicity 4640) but I’m still not able to find a fabric I like. It should be turquoise and orange and if possible floral . I love the orange and turquoise color combo.
Thanks,
Tia

I found this on ebay:
Blue stripe with flowers – http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/shabby-COTTAGE-CHIC-STRIPE-BLUE-COTTON-FABRIC-per-m-/190581415690?pt=UK_Crafts_Fabric_Textiles_SM&hash=item2c5f899f0a
Blue stripe with red flowers – http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NAVY-BLUE-VINTAGE-FLORAL-GARLAND-STRIPE-COTTON-CRAFTING-FABRIC-/220943159759?pt=UK_Crafts_Fabric_Textiles_SM&hash=item33713d11cf
Not orange but quite similar to the pic, happy hunting!
I love turq and orange too! but is a hard combo to find. Looking around there is a lot of pale blue and red, so getting some combo of that might be nice.
I’m loving this modern flower print http://www.gonetoearth.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_98&products_id=808
and if you want to push the boat out, Liberty has this beauty http://www.liberty.co.uk/fcp/product/Liberty/NEW-SEASON-FABRICS/Ellie-Ruth-C-Tana-Lawn-Liberty-Art-Fabrics/70981
thought of your quest when I saw this orange and blue print, and darted right over.
..good luck in finding just the right fabric for your project!.
