asking the LJ Hivemind if this is suitable for 1920s

[sewaddicted]

Next month there's a 1920s festival in the blue mountains, and I'd like at least one dress (if I go twice I'd like a second!). And I really want to use stash, but have very little that would work.  I do have a 2.5m AND a 16metre piece of this 135cm or 53" wide cotton/silk lawn/voile stuff.

I like the first option alot, it really does remind me of a 20's print. The white background, I see that as a crinoline (possibly because that was what I nearly bought it for) and the pink... well it's nice, but I think the green.. :)

aaargh for not telling me what i wanted to hear :p But I think it's the right answer.

the pink will make a nice summer something, but it's not really retro is it.

The white background I only have 7m, and I don't see it as crinoline for me ;)

BAHAHAHAHA.

What was it that you wanted to hear?

to use the white with print LOL but you're right.

The green strikes me as much more '20s, as well. Sorry! :)

I know, and really I knew it was I just wanted something more opaque. but hey, I can use some of my 25 year old silk to make a petticoat.
