I love the violet colour, and since the eyelet is so fine it won't be eye blinding obvious, but if you are worried about looking crafty I think sewbusylizzy is right to suggest more grown up colours of champagne or silverKristy Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385704380789244157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962068830682572078.post-65920461718727282012-10-28T22:08:08.137+11:002012-10-28T22:08:08.137+11:00Another vote for black lining.

I think scalloped hems are totally your style too, with the black fabric it wont look too cutesy but more classic (hope that makes sense!)I will work for Fabrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399550123669694016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962068830682572078.post-76634262210208619252012-10-28T12:44:16.674+11:002012-10-28T12:44:16.674+11:00I love the idea of a scalloped hem!

If you line it or not, the seam allowances will be visible - if you underline it you will just seen the seams.<br />I think if you do it in black you will lose the impact of the eyelets. If you are concerned about a craftsy look, go for a champagne, silvery grey colour. This is all IMHO.

It's too much contrast. A deep blue or purple would be nice, as would a neutral.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632943287527470666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962068830682572078.post-71143526656232015782012-10-26T20:23:00.531+11:002012-10-26T20:23:00.531+11:00I think black on black with a scalloped hem.

That way you aren't totally committing to either but get the best of both worlds?Jacintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575013645355428125noreply@blogger.com
