I went with the hand woven silk, which is pretty stiff and thicker than silk crepe, so it has less drape. It sticks out and is A-line, which isnt a shape I normally go for! I wish I'd gone for the figure hugging crepe instead.

She did the empire line though, with a ruched bust and a lovely little sash under, which I wanted and a matching lacey bolero.. and I am having 'waves' of organza hugging the dress from under the bust to the floor.. like the sea. So thats all good, I'm just not sure the overall effect actually suits me !!
