So my dad is getting married and I'm in desperate need of an outfit for the wedding.
I have found [http://www.coggles.com/item/Priestleys-Vintage/Olivia-Red-Silk-Dress/8S3M this dress], but it's a little too expensive. So I'm planning to make my own version of it.
The pattern is not an issue - but I could really do with some help finding fabric. Weight is not of primary importance as I can underline if needed. I am, however, looking for something that mimics the appearance of solid colour from a distance when it is in fact patterned. It doesn't necessarily have to be red.
I can't seem to find anything nice which is not 100% Polyester (I hate Polyester but would love cotton, silk or wool, also fine with viscose/rayon) or at least £40+ per meter. I am hoping to spend no more than £25/meter.
Is anyone able to help?
