The real question will be how breathable it is!

I did see a few results come up on google for Etsy, but, you're right. I prefer to get samples first. However, I did just find a lightweight denim look blended fabric with viscose in it and sent for a sample of that too. At this rate I'll want a denim coloured one and a blush one!&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA Here it is&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sherwoodsfabrics.co.uk/shop/denim-chambray/winston/">http://www.sherwoodsfabrics.co.....y/winston/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer/page/2#post-1624905 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 20:10:54 +0000 RoseandJoan 1624905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can buy it from etsy, maybe not great if you want to feel the hand of the fabric first.</p> <p>P.s sorry if this comes across as pushy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer/page/2#post-1624888 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:33:19 +0000 Anonymous 1624888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, yes, you're right.

I did a quick internet search for fabric, though and came up with zero...It seem like it's mainly industry that gets hold of it.</p> <p>Thanks Zoie!</p> <p>Hehe...you should go for it Karie!</p> <p>Viva, it sounds like your cool New England evenings are like UK Summers. Anyway, I have some samples on there way to me, so I'll see what I can come up with :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624864 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:13:33 +0000 viva 1624864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the chambray looking one and if it's in a non- or limited-crease fabric I would be all over it. It would be just perfect for cool New England spring / summer evenings. I really love this idea and can't wait to see what beauty you whip up, Diane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624862 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:11:52 +0000 Karie 1624862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look for a mild spring day. I like the ones in pics #1 and #2, and if it were lightweight enough, I'd wear it both outside and inside.&nbsp;</p> <p>A triple crepe fabric would be perfect - now you've got me wanting to make one too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624823 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 18:14:21 +0000 Anonymous 1624823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fourth pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624723 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 14:02:30 +0000 RoseandJoan 1624723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tencel may work Diane, I have seen it recommended as a good fabric to pack due to being fairly crease resistant (but I defer to your fabric knowledge ). A mid grey tencel would be lovely on you in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624690 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 11:40:02 +0000 Anonymous 1624690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Suz...I will go for it :D</p> <p>Joy, I'm very taken with the denim one too. I wonder if I could get a very lightweight denim?</p> <p>Una, that's what I said...I have been QFOD...now you have me confused lol!</p> <p>Sharan...funny, but I hadn't thought of this style as indoor wear, but now that you mention it...perhaps I could use it for that too. I plan on wearing it as a lightweight topper for our usually cool UK weather. It's possible I might put a very lightweight lining in it. I'll see what fabric I end up with.</p> <p>Aida, I could do this style up if I wanted. I really like how Jean from 'Extra Petite' has hers fastened....see pic. It could indeed be a fun indoor piece though.</p> <p>Thanks Jaime! All the colour iterations are fab aren't they?</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624653 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 04:26:10 +0000 Jaime 1624653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great idea for you Diane with your moderate weather. Which color is hard to say, but I do like the denim one above.

For myself I wouldn't do it as outerwear; I <i>always</i> do up my coats outside even if they look better open! But as an indoor piece? I would certainly consider, especially in a tencel denim (I'm OK with creases!).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624592 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:52:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1624592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look and think it would suit your style very well, Diane. I especially like the idea of blush or sage green for you. This is kind of an indoor blazer alternative, yes? Or I guess it could be outerwear, too, in warmer weather. Kind of like a jean jacket--indoor or outdoor wear, I suppose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624566 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 00:20:36 +0000 catgirl 1624566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness, my brain is off-kilter.&nbsp; I thought you'd been a Q! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624550 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 23:12:34 +0000 Anonymous 1624550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You would look spectacular in one of these. I want the denim version, although I don't have the right climate. This weight is either too light or too warm except for maybe a few transitional days.

I'm pleased to hear that there are some other fans of this look :)</p> <p>Janet and Lisa. I can definitely picture you two in a draped trench. Too bad about the fabric in your coat Lisa. I had pondered this problem, because I don't like creases either&nbsp;and as I'm planning on making my version I've been looking at non crease fabrics...i.e, with a heavy dose of polyester in the blend.</p> <p>Angie, I just&nbsp;looked at the CM website...love the blush pink one! I adore the look of your toffee trench too :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624389 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 18:35:28 +0000 Anonymous 1624389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always loved this look, but you know what the problem is? &nbsp;And this comes from having owned a gorgeous almost liquidy feeling draped silvery/olive trench from CM a few years ago: the thing wrinkled like mad, and always looked messy. &nbsp;I coveted that thing, tried it on over and over again until it went on sale, bought it with such excitement, and then was SO disappointed in how it actually wore. &nbsp;Even hanging in the closet it was a mess. &nbsp;I suppose if you can find a fabrication that won't wrinkle - great , but to me what is acceptable wrinkle-wise in a shirt, blouse, or other drapey top, just didnt' work in a jacket or coat.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/really-loving-this-topper-style-for-springsummer#post-1624375 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 18:04:27 +0000 Angie 1624375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>REALLY great piece for our climate, Diane.
