Definitely! It’s an organza jacquard from Longan Crafts. The flowers are pink metallic ✨ it sewed up really well, I didn’t find it finicky given that it has a bit of heft to it. Let me know if you have any specific Qs!

Fabric was gifted but they shared a 15% off code: ‘handmakin’

First try-on 👀 The #SAHopeWovenDress is done in this beautiful organza jacquard 🌺

It’s see-through in places so I’ve also sewed up a #SAJunoSlipDress to wear underneath (almost done here but desperately needs a press!)
