I'm going to have to look out for you in that area now :). <br /><br />I wish you'd been passing too; I felt pretty foolish posing in public and it definitely would've been reassuring to see someone who understood what I was up to.

I'm sure black looked a lot more flattering on me when I was young :) but I will have to try to restrain myself from getting too flamboyant - I don't want to look like Dame Edna!

It clings and drapes, it feels smooth, and it's most definitely a 4-way stretch. I think Tessuti recommends it for tops and dresses. Hope that helps - let me know if you'd like me to email you more photos or something.<br /><br />I'm not sure what the sandstone building in the background is - it certainly looks like a church, doesn't it, but it's in the grounds of the Sydney Hospital on Macquarie St. Do you know the little courtyard cafe in the hospital? It's on the opposite side of the courtyard to the cafe, on the other side of the Australiana water fountain. I really enjoyed finding photogenic spots around Sydney in Me Made May :).<br /><br />Thanks, Gabrielle<br />Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091315686616574564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-77512810970152220432013-06-08T09:01:18.190+10:002013-06-08T09:01:18.190+10:00I am with you on the colour.
