I was looking at fabric.com and came across this piece.  It seems to fit in with the critter trend and is it just me, or does it look very "Orla Keily-ish" ?  It is a satin charmeuse so it would be perfect for a dress or top.  Does anyone like it and, if so, would you make a dress or top?  Here is a pic below and it comes in two colorways:

It's very Anthropologie to me. I think it's really cute, but I absolutely love owls. I could see it being a youthful blouse. Personally, I think it might be a bit much for a full dress, unless you're in your early 20's. I don't know much about material, but I think the pattern could work for a skirt (maybe a circle skirt?) too.

You didn't really ask, but I prefer the first fabric color for a skirt and the second color for a top. But I usually wear bold on the bottom and softer on the top.

Don't know if the dress....too busy, but I'd do a skirt to wear with solid color or lacy top.
