Can I pass up $2.99 a Yard?

I am contemplating a new 1836 dress.
Never mind that I don't really need one -- except I do, kind of. The ones I have, I made in 2001 and 2002 and are sort of... blah.
I have a "fancy" dress made in 2003, but that one is strictly sleeve-puff glory, and I'd like one that I can use otherwise too.
And Fabric.com is having a great sale until Monday.
So.
Cast your vote. What shall I have?

Posies Black:


Dahlia Blue:


Lacy Stripes, Coffee or Blue:


Pins, Red/Yellow:


Vine Stripe, Cream/Blue:


I like the stripes for the "fun" one can have with stripes in fabric, especially with 1836 dresses. I can order enough of this to do them diagonally, cutting in toward the waist to make it look smaller... it's all about the illusion, folks.

So... please... vote for the right fabric for my new dress.

That is a tough choice. So many "fun" fabrics to choose from. I like either the Dahlia Blue or the Pins Red/Yellow. :)

I like the vine stripe... anything to help us ladies look like we have tiny waists!

I loved the Dahlia blue!! But when I finally got to see the vine stripe I found that very interesting. Can't really decide between the 2!!

Yeah, I was leaning toward the Dalhia vote and felt bad because it seemed you wanted the stripes...BUT it seems the majority is ruling and I agree - Dahlia. Will you go with the majority or go "rogue?"

Happy Birthday, chickee!
