I had to share this dynamic springtime version of Eclair that French blogger Julie of Jolies Bobines sent me. What a fabric!

This dress is really lovely !

Oups ! It seems like you got Julie’s blog name wrong, though ! It is bobines (which is french for bobbins, so I guess it’s not that much of a problem !^^).

It looks like she cut up a flag! Brilliant match with the pattern.

Beautiful, beautiful fabric! How come I never find things like that (or maybe I do, but I just don’t have the vision to know what to make with it). Stunning!

When I find pretty material I buy the right amount for a dress or slacks etc. and bring it home I always find something to do with it.

It sometimes takes awhile but it is worth it.

Such a beautiful dress. I have always been a fan of the Eclair and hope to make it sometime. This print and contrasting sash are so eye catching.
