I pulled this crazy length of tricot out of the stash because it was long enough to use as a wrap for wearing Duncan, but as I was playing with it, I thought it would make a cool maxi dress. I'm pretty sure it is authentically from the 70s...
Be honest, completely insane or crazy cool?
In case the colors in this photo haven't blinded you, here is the print up close.
Yes, it really is that bright. But I love it. Especially the purple frogs. I'm thinking of making it into
Simplicity 3503, the view in gold.
If you saw me in the street in that would you pretend not to know me?
ETA: From my mother, who gave me this fabric : "A note on the authenticity. The fabric is, in fact, Qiana. A DuPont -held trademarked name of Nylon that was wildly popular 1968 - 1975. Qiana, like rayon 80 years previously, was intended to replace silk in the American closet. Hardly!! Your father, and grandfather, briefly (pun intended) wore Qiana undies for a couple of years."
