Angela from RiAnge Creations has found some of the fabrics I was looking for at her local Jo-Ann's Fabric Store. Angela kindly offered to buy some and send it to me. I received my fabrics yesterday ~ I was sooooo pleased .
It still amazes me that people we only know through blogging and have never met would be so kind and do something like this. I can't Thank Angela enough and I truly appreciate what she has done.
"Thank You" again Angela :)
The fabric is a light weight sheer and it does look somewhat different from the dress on the McCall's pattern, however I will line it with a white fabric ~ the white really makes the colors brighter.....I love the large floral print ~ I will make this fabric work!
I told Angela, I normally don't name my garments but this dress will be my Angela dress.

The description on Jo-Ann's site of the other fabric Angela sent me , says it is a polyester but to me it
feels like a soft cotton. In real life, the colors in this fabric below, are as bright as the colors appear in this picture.
The colors are beautiful and it is a very nice fabric weight for a dress.

I am very anxious to start my garments.
Thank You Angela!
Thank You Angela!

Gorgeous summertime fabric. Love the gloves with the red dress on the young lady.
Thank you for the pea coat suggestions. I love the single button one. Thank you again Ann. happy planning to you!
I too am always amazed at the genorousity? of bloggers! So glad you were finally able to get the fabric. And your son and his date are quite the pair!
Hi Ann,
doesn't look the same. I'm missing much orange. But, never mind. It's beautiful and so kind of Angela.
Had an similar neatness with some of my blogger. She often goes on short-trips to Italy. Last time she bought a La Mia Boutique for me (-: (Can't buy it as single-issue in Germany anymore.)
Have fun by making your dress. I'm looking forward to your result.
Nice weekend!
Sabine
I'm glad Angela found a similar fabric for you. I too looked in my Joann's after your post but they didn't have any left.
I forgot to say that your son and his date made a great couple!
How fabulous to find the fabric...now we want pictures - lots and lots of pictures!!!
So glad you got your fabric. It was really kind of Angela to do that. Bloggers are wonderful people - one of the joys of the age we live in.
How totally cool! Great "good news" post :) Your son is a charmer, too
Aw, prom pictures! How nice! What a stylish girl you son is dating. Love that fabric; I might just have to try to hunt some down myself. Can't wait to see your Angela Dress.
That was nice - can't wait to see the dress!
It's nice to find good people in cyberspace, it is impossible to be otherwise with you, I can not wait to see her dress over, those colors are bright and full of light.
My congratulations to your son.
