Dormé goodbye gown 2.2 - fabric shopping

[pocki]

Went on further fabricshopping today. I decided to go for the fabrics I had found at Stoff o Stil for the bodice and skirt: a semi transparent lightblue/grey crêpe and some black or grey fabric to have underneath. I went for a grey fabric for the skirt, a bit stretchy and with a nice weight to it (and very cheap!). For the bodice I decided on an already cut piece of grey jersey (will make it much easier, to have a alltogether stretchy bodice...the crêpe is stretchy too you see), since it was already cut it was much cheaper (not a left over tough, so no holes or rifts or errors in colour/pattern).
But I stil haven't found any lining I like in particular... but that can wait.
So now I have almost everything I need for the bodice and skirt. Still need to get a zipper though. And decide on how to make the collar. If it should be openable or if the stretch is enough to just pull it over my head.
Well well, at least I can start now ^^


material checklist:

skirt pattern

bodice pattern

coat pattern

toile

purple/plum fabric for coat

whatever to use for the collar of the bodice (buttons? zipper?)
