Wow, you found some beautiful things. I don't know what has happened to my thrift store, but I haven't bought any fabric in ages. It's so picked over, and they must have new people pricing because it's just nuts. I found a small piece (1/2 yard maybe) of a blue shirting fabric. It was stained on the outside of the roll and they still wanted $2 for it. They roll up the fabric, and I found a really pretty blue gingham, but when I unrolled it to see how much fabric it was, it was all cut into squares, maybe 18" or so, but was rolled in such a way that it looked like regular yardage. I can't remember the last time I bought fabric there. It's a good thing that I have a nice collection. You really do need to make that floral print into a jacket. I think it was in 2008 Burda magazine had a pattern for the cutest swing type jacket with 3/4 sleeves, a rounded collar, and front pockets. That fabric would look amazing in that pattern. I am sure whatever you choose will be lovely. I was impressed that your husband knew enough about fashion to suggest that your fabric might be too dark for September. I do think he might be right. That combination will be gorgeous, but maybe for a little later in the year. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make.
Yes it’s unfortunate sometimes that they hide stains/rips at the thrift. I also find the prices have really gone up in the past year so you have to be on the look out for a good deal. I can’t wait to sew some of this up!
I am really looking forward to see what you make for the wedding :) I also have some weddings this year and definitly need all the wedding guest outfit inspo I can get :D
Wow! Great finds Carly! You have so many creative ideas with those fabrics. Can’t wait to see you in all the outfits.

That’s awesome! We were just invited to another wedding so I’ll have to make 2!! I love sewing occasion dresses though!
Omg with those finds it looks as if you've gone to a fabric store not a thrift store!
I really lucked out! Thanks!
