Still Waiting..

So I am still waiting on my 60's dress pattern to come.. should be here any time soon! I've been looking for fabrics anywhere I go that I can manage to find a fabric shop, the only thing is I have no idea how much I shall need, so I have to wait until it arrives to find out. Good thing I havn't found a fabric I've fallen in Love with.

In the mean time the 'Fashion Design: Construction' book that I ordered arrived... so I have some time to read over in advance how to construct the dress I wish to make.

As I'm not too fond of the whole pattern drafting aspect of designing, I am actually quite excited to get started.. all thanks to this book. It's full of great tips and imagery, even quotes from top designeres! Not your typical Construction guide...
