I have this pattern:

I am wanting to make the dress with a fabric that is sort of anthropologie-esque.  Here are some I am considering.  Do you like any of them?

1)  Nigella Water Lotus - ivory - click to enlarge

























2) Lotus Wall Flower - mustard - click to enlarge



















3)Leap Frog - natural/green - click to enlarge

I like the second one & the third one would be my second choice.

I love them all, but really like #1 - maybe because it's Amy Butler? I adore her fabrics, and some of the dresses I have seen of hers are AMAZING! I think the pattern you picked plus that fabric would be gorgeous.

I really like the second fabric. You are so lucky that you can make awesome dresses like that! I am jealous.

Thanks everyone.  This helps me.  One of the most difficult things for me is visualizing how a dress will look with a certain fabric.

I was just admiring this same pattern this past weekend at the fabric store!  I like #1 for the dress - post pictures when you get done!

I think because the dress has a high neck and a lot of space on it for a pattern, I like the idea of a big airy print, like the palm tree one they used. So my vote is for #1.

I would prefer the other prints on skirts, tanks, strapless dresses... but not as much of it, if that makes sense.
