It blows my mind that this dress is made from quilting cotton! If you are interested, you can click the image to view a slideshow of outfits since the inauguration.
Such a pretty dress. I’m thinking I could self draft this design myself, at least the bodice and then frankenpattern the skirt. I really like the style.
I am intrigued by the fabric as well. It sure is interesting how the designer placed elements for effect. You have to look hard to see the cranes. In a way, the dress looks almost ombred.

Where did you find out that this is quilting cotton? You're right, it's hard to believe!

I was browsing quilting fabrics online through http://www.quiltshops.com. I can't figure out which shop now, but it was also showing pillow case sets. I should have bookmarked it!!
