I have this dress pattern that I am planning to make (w/o the sash), although I may shorten it so that it will be above the knee.  I'm not sure about that yet.   Anyway, here is the pattern:

Here are the fabrics I am considering.  They are all silk chiffon so I will have to line the dress:

#1 CC897.116x116_thumb.gif    #2 CC864.116x116_thumb.gif  #3 CC565.116x116_thumb.gif

#4 CC900.116x116_thumb.gif   #5 CC902.116x116_thumb.gif   #6 CC783.116x116_thumb.gif

#7 CC788.116x116_thumb.gif   #8 CC784.116x116_thumb.gif   #9 BB529.116x116_thumb.gif

#10  R434.116x116_thumb.gif    or this plain yellow #11 SF008.116x116_thumb.gif

I am sorry to list so many choices, but when I get to looking at fabric it is like a kid in a candy store.  Which do you like best (pick more than one if you like)? Also, my hair is back to light/medium blonde and I am very pale if that helps.  Or, if you have a different fabric to suggest, that would be great, too.  Thanks.

of the ones you listed, i like #6 and #9 the best. i guess in general i like the more sophisticated patterns over the ones that are more playful for this style of dress.

i think i'd prefer the dress in a solid vs. a pattern, but i'm not sure the pale yellow would be the best color for you given what you've said about your hair color / skin tone.

super cute dress pattern!

Very cute pattern.  I wish my sewing skills were that good. 
I like 6, 8, and 9 the best for the dress.

Liking 6 & 11. In general, I think I would like this dress best with a smaller, soft pattern in muted colors or a solid.

plain yellow, or maybe another solid color.  i think the dress has a cute shape and would look more chic in a solid. i like the cream in the rendering.

I think it would look really pretty in plain yellow #11

I LOVE 3, but I think that for a dress like this a solid is best, so #11

I agree on just doing a solid color. What about navy?

I think it would look best in a solid color because I am wondering if the pattern would look weird sinched up at the neckline.  I like the length of the dress in the drawing.

Thanks so much everybody.  It looks like overall #6 got the most votes. For those of you that prefer a solid, what do you think would look good with my pale skintone (pink undertones) and medium blonde hair (with some light blonde streaks)?

I thought about navy, but I already have a solid navy dress.
