I decided not to devoré the top and use a different fabric , so I took a trip up to Totnes and found this great fabric in Stones Fabrics , it was the material i was looking for! An aqua silk.
Cutting out patterns for my top , i have used a thick stretch cotton for under the silk to give the bodice some sturdiness.
Started a bit of draping onto the bodice!
With the jacket on, not looking to bad!
With out the jacket and a bit of a waste band
