It's more than a year old now, unfortunately, so it may be difficult to find. I adored the entire collection and wish it had been more widely available (and for a longer time). Good luck!<br /><br />-Liesl Hi Erin,

That fabric is Japanese: Yuwa Live Life. It's more than a year old now, unfortunately, so it may be difficult to find. I adored the entire collection and wish it had been more widely available (and for a longer time). Good luck!

What is that darling cream and red fabric? I've looked high and low for it and it's becoming a bit of an obsession!<br />Erin Liesl,

Laura, I think the Bubble Dress would be adorable in wool, and you'll probably be happiest with a very lightweight wool like a gabardine. I would suggest lining it with something really light like a lawn or voile, just so the lining doesn't weigh her (or the dress) down. Or, if the recipient will be wearing tights with it, perhaps a silkier lining would work better? Then the fabric won't get caught up on the lining. My favorite silky lining is Bemberg; it's really luxurious and washable but also quite slippery, so be forewarned if you decide to use it. Good luck, and I'd love to see photos!

I've been wanting to make the bubble dress in a lightweight grey wool flannel I have and line it with a cute pink quilter's weight cotton, but can't decide if it will be too heavy and not "bubble" properly. Any thoughts? I just cannot wait!

I like the look of the new stuff too.
