“I would love to see the Peony in a fun print like the Ivory Floral Nani Iro Double Gauze Cotton Fabric but I also saw a silk cotton satteen in aubergine and some orange dotted swiss cottons that looked amazing!”
Thanks everyone, and with such a great response, look for more giveaways from the future!

For me it would be this beautiful print to give the dress an even more retro feel.

I imagine this dress in the Nani Iro blue floral double gauze, for a both wintery and joyful look. However, it might need underlining too…

this is so great, not only the chance to win a fab book (and much better odds than the lottery) but also to win fabric to get cracking on beautiful things!!! Count me in x

I’ve no experience whatsoever sewing dresses for myself, but I’d love to try linen, for example the cross woven in black and white, since I’m way too chicken to risk prints ;)

I would make the peony with the Liberty of London Carnation Fabric!

I would make a Peony (either long sleeve or no sleeve) out of the Black Silk Chiffon Eyelet Fabric. I can’t decide if I would line it in black or in some jazzy-poppy color so that it just peeks through the eyelet. Maybe a fuschia or a neon blue color. This would make for a FABULOUS winter-season LBD. LBD with a little somethin’ extra.

Hands down I would have to try one of the Eco Fashion Fabrics. I’ve enver worked with something so earth friendly…but have been dying to. Perhaps this one:

Fabulous giveaway! But so hard to choose. I’ve already made a summer Peony in cotton, and I have it in my mind that I’d like to experiment with making a winter Peony with some kind of upholstery fabric, maybe a jacquard or damask. I think that this might work: . The Peony is so simple and elegant that you can experiment with a huge range of fabrics.

I love the way they organize the fabrics. So many pretty ones! I think it’s a toss up between the Amy Butler Rayon Fabric Peacocks and the Pink Floral Rayon Challis Fabric.

I would love to make fun Peony with the Contented Cats Cotton Linen Fabric.

I’m so glad to come across this giveaway!
I have been eyeing your patterns for several months, and Peony would make the perfect “Photographer Dress” I am in need of.
Although I am tempted with Hart’s “Embroidered Floral Silk Eyelet Fashion Fabric Red”, I would probably make a comfortable wardrobe staple out of “Tercel Challis Charcoal” first.
But with $100 …who knows? Perhaps I will have a photographer “uniform” AND a delicious dress hanging in my closet!

OOhhh, would I dare challenge myself to make this out of chiffon? I love this Yellow Plaid Italian Silk Chiffon: http://www.hartsfabric.com/italian-silk-fabric-chiffon58857.html

This dress would be beautiful in Hart’s Fabric Fashion Black Lace Topped Grey Wool. The sash could be done in the contrasting fabric of Rosettes Fashion Fabric Black. The perfect LBD!

I would make the Peony Dress out of the gray Hemp Organic Cotton Denim Wave Fabric, or the red Hemp Wool Plaid.

I would love this! I just bought a vintage couch that needs reupholstering and pillows so this would help solo much!

I’m not sure it would turn out how I am picturing it, but I think the Lizzy House Outfoxed Hedgehogs in Ivory would be a fun print.

So many amazing choices! I think I’d go for Anna Maria Horner Loulouthi Voile Coreopsis Raspberry!

The hemp denim is really nice… almost looks like chambray shirting fabric from the photo.
I am also in love with some of those Liberty prints, but they are probably too lightweight for the Peony dress.

I love this deep red! I think it would be so classy with a pair of heels, a scarf, and a killer clutch… http://www.hartsfabric.com/organic-cotton-knit-fabric55349.html

Ohh, perhaps a lovely wool-blend in a jewel tone for winter and something lighter for the rest of the year. Thanks for the giveaway. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of your book

Imagine the ‘Rayon Challis Fabric Fashion Black and White Floral’ made into the Peony!
(http://www.hartsfabric.com/rayon-fabric-fashion-floral-black-white59208.html)
If I add a pair of black heels and a black beaded necklace, I’d have the perfect look for one of my monthly girlfriend get-togethers; if I add black boots, belt, and scarf, I’ve got extraordinarily fun fall-wear!
Yes, yes… This is making my mind go crazy with ideas!
