I went to the first Berlin Frocktails in May while visiting my son. It was my first Frocktails event and I enjoyed it, despite not being able to speak German. Luckily, there were people who spoke English and French so I didn’t feel like “Billy No Mates” 😂 As I live in France, I couldn’t miss out going to Frocktails in Paris. A friend will be joining me this time which will be nice. We are going to stay in Paris for a few days so we can explore the fabric shops, haberdasheries etc., a couple of fashion expos and a few of the sights. Are any Stash Hubbers going? ---

I was planning on making a 1930s dress in a lightweight silk satin but the pattern I wanted to use is a rare one and I can’t locate a copy. Always the way isn’t it? 🤦‍♀️ However, I bought a length of a vintage absract print silk at the weekend and this it’s from the 70s Haute Couture so might change tack and make a vintage 70s instead. I’m now going down that pattern rabbit hole. 😂 ![IMG_4248](https://forum.stashhubapp.com/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9244bfce0d51ccee11ce1c634c8ec990296b49db.jpeg) ---

UPDATE - I decided to make the DVF reissued wrap dress pattern V2000. My fabric is narrow but I have 5m so thought I would be OK. I have spend ages getting the fit just right only to find I just can’t make it fit the fabric. 🤦‍♀️ I had a back up fabric and it doesn’t fit that either. So I’m back to the drawing board and time is running out. I have 3 patterns which should fit the fabric dimensions. All vintage patterns that will need altering - Vogue 2788 Pucci design, McCall’s 8066 Halston design and Vogue 2333 another DVF design. I’m going to mock them up and try and make a decision. ---

Oh no! You’ll have to treat yourself to some new fabric whilst you’re in Paris so you can make the V2000 another time 😉 Good like with your plan B!
