i have a wedding to attend in late April. since the mother of the bride insists no, i can't weat jeans i need to make something suitably glam. i have Vogue 1290 (from 1999) that i think will work.

'm not crazy about the V neckline, but... i'd be making the view c dress & the pants (maybe the blouse too, because i get chilly easily & April in upstate NY can be either pleasantly warm or freezing...) i would most likely do the dress in silk velvet (burnout if i have time). the suggested material for the pants are novelty georgette or chiffon, with georgette or chiffon underlining. in the photo they appear to be lace over a sheer. so, where can i find novelty georgette, preferably silk. or would silk velvet work for the pants as well? any suggestions for changing the neckline or filling it in a bit also gratefully accepted. thanks! lee
