Giselle blue Enchanted dress - Fabric ideas

[willonlyflytodisney]

Hey Dis!

I'm working on making myself the blue dress from Enchanted that Giselle sings in "That's How You Know." I finally found a pattern that is absolutely perfect so a beginner sewer like me can put it together!

I've made the two underskirts of pink and white, but I've been searching for weeks for a blue fabric that is anything like the original dress. I don't need it to be embroidered, I just need it to be an aqua/turquoise blue, with some kind of floral pattern.

Does anyone have any ideas??!

This page has pictures of the dress if you aren't familiar with the movie:

I know in the Joanne's by me they have a section that always reminds me of Japanese robes. They tend to have flower patters in them and come in bright colors. Have you looked at them.

I was wondering if you could give me any information on what pattern you used for the dress... I'd love to make one of my own! Thanks!
