How much fabric does your florist need?

To wrap the stems of your BM's bo-k's?

I think I am going to order extram fabric from the BM's dresses so he can wrap them, but I have no idea how much to get.

I have 9 bo-k's and it comes in 1/2 yards....

Anyone have a clue?

I would just save the material from the alterations, BUT I have a lot of OOT girls who will get their alterations done elsewhere.

And I definitely need to get the right color material - they sell it in yards, so it should be neat.

Thanks for the info...... That's a lot of dinero for me!!! ACK.

the bottoms from the girls dresses should be enough unless all the girls are really tall.
they dont need much however i think im gonna order a yard of fabric for the flowers just in case.....

are you going to wrap your flowers with the same color as the girls or just your own material?

Hey Leese...your girls are wearing Dessy dresses right? I needed to buy some fabric for my girls, so I only ordered a swatch from Dessy, and brought it to the fabric store rather than purchase from Dessy, it's pretty expensive and I was able to find fabric that matched almost perfectly at the fabric store.

Oooooo - thanks for the tip. You know what's weird? My mom is convinced that the swatch I ordered from Dessy isn't the same material - but I know I ordered it right....

i know a few of them were just perfect with the dress. plus, most of the girls will be going elsewhere for alterations cause they are all out state.

I was thinking the same thing too and that the colors were off..BUT, my girls dresses are in and it matches, thankfully. They charge $30 for half a yard of fabric...that's insane!

Hey Lisa

I asked George about this before and he said he had satin....did you speak to him?

I still may opt to use my own material, but see if he has the match for yours.
