I was saving this fantastic metallic fabric for a special occasion. What could be more special than New Year’s Eve. Last year I put this little cream puff together to ring in 2013. The metallic crinkle fabric is woven of purple and gold. I layered it over a taffeta that was woven out of gold and blue giving it that shimmery lime green. This dress just lights up the room without electricity.

You did a great job! I've sewn with this fabric and must say that it was a challenge to work with--trying not to crush the little wrinkles and still get the seams pressed open.
