This frock as been a long time comin'. I went to the antique/flea market/thrift fair mecca that is Brimfield back in May for work where I got a bunch of vintage fabric pieces and drapes. So call me Maria Von Trapp or Scarlett O'Hara, because these are the drapes!
I immediately spotted these from across a tent at the fair and HAD to have them - I loved the colors and the texture of the fabric. Apparently they had been hanging in a cabin in upstate new york for decades, and the woman gave them to me for $5 a panel - so I bought four. This was the one panel that actually didn't disintegrate when I sewed it into a dress.
