Fashion Square Dress--Fabrics?



I finished up the fourth muslin for this dress and I think it's at the point now where I'd like to make a wearable version. So . . . fabrics? I'd love to find a geometric print, but those seem hard to come by, so that's probably out. I've been searching around and finally narrowed it down to five top choices.






Embroidered Crinkle Cotton

I'm really leaning towards Amy Butler's Optic Blossom, even if it is quilting weight cotton. I think the Daisey print by Heather Bailey is probably too regular, especially given the number of seams on the dress. But I really love the embroidered crinkle cotton and I bet it would make such a lovely summer dress for this wedding.
