Tell us what you think!

Trying to press in the "drape" may not be a good idea. Neefer Duir was right, if it doesn't hold the drapey folds you want while holding it, it won't drape the way you want after it's made. It's still a beautiful dress!

How does your fabric drape when you hold up the yardage?  Hold the fabric so that it hangs on the bias.  Do you see the drapey folds you want?  If not, it's probably not going to change when made into a dress.

also check where the pattern hits at the hips... if it hits too high it will get hungup on your hips.. if too low I think it would buck;le at bit..

The key word... BIAS .. just about anything can drape like that if cut on the BIAS..

I would use Silk Charmeuse or Crepe de Chine
with a bias cut for that beautiful drape.

I love the look but I will let these ladies advise. I never get clothes to look as good as the pattern.

My first thought was the same as the rest....bias cut....and press!  It's a very pretty pattern.  I hope it works out for you.

My first thought was, "Did you cut it on the bias?" So, I ditto these ladies. Check the direction you cut that piece out.
