Help! I've got nothing to wear. And we've got tickets for the 100-year anniversary of the local painters' guild. And it's terribly posh, but I don't know if a cocktail dress will do or if it has to be an evening dress. ordering something is no option; a quick flip through all the mail order houses showed that the stuff is either to expensive (Anna Scholz) or too cheaply made and won't fit like I would want to anyway. However, I had planned to use this pattern:

(dress D and jacket A) and use a dark blue, very thin poplin with a strip of appliquéd tulips (sorts of) in various shades of beige and gold on one border (approx. 30 cm wide). Tulips to go bottom dress and bottom jacket. And the event is on 2. July. I don't know what to do... Or should I get this skirt:

and make from my recently used pattern a crinkle chiffon tunic with longer sleeves to go with it, and a cotton top under that? Arrgh! I'd never have thought that we would actually get tickets, else I would have attended to the problem much earlier. U.
