OK I have ANOTHER question, and I would find out myself but I only have so many sources, AND I'm on the road.
What is generally the price for suede? What is the cheapest price you have seen it at?
More to the point, is 6.30 a yrd. (just under a meter) a good price? YES it is a wide fabric.
anyways there is an opportunity for me to get some suede today, before 11 central time, so if I could get an answer before then i would be MOST grateful
Thank you!
Take care and God bless!

That is decently good for a price. If it's anything like how much velvet costs, I'd keep looking personally, or just wait for a sale.  
Good luck!

Hey everyone, how did you all make your pregnency pads? I'm trying to work out the pattern for the 'skirt' part of this outfit, but the front is giving me fits because I don't have a stomach like that  Any ideas? I've got everything done but that.
Thanks!

Nidrail, I used Simplicity 8589 and it worked fine. It had plenty of fullness. I actually took it in a few inches. I did not add the seams, but I made mine before the movie came out, and I've not done a redo. There is a pattern out there that replicates the seams better, but I'll have to dig to find the number.
Good luck on the boots. I got lucky at a Norstrom's rack. With fall coming, though, you'll see more boots online.
For a pregnancy pad, I made a small pillow out of some tan scraps I had. I hold it in place with maternity underwear.
I got the fabric for this for $4.00 a yard. It was $7.99 and 50% off of that. Fabrics.com and Distinctive Fabrics also sell some good material for this outfit.
Check out my link in the signature for more details. I hope that helps!

Here's a few pictures of what I've got so far - I need to take better ones tonight :P
I've still got to attach the collar!

A custom job for a customer.
The patterns for the brooch and buckles. Still some minor tweaking to do...
The cold cast brass pieces are being cleaned up now.
More pictures to come...

Sorry I hadn't posted pics, until now over (1 1/2 yrs later?), had comp issues and had to give birth! :LOL My son is now 1 yr old. Whew time flies!
Well here are some of my pics..
Oh, here's a pic from the C3 gallery,
http://oldlinegarrison.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=317
For my broach, I just used sculpey and brass rubnbuff, but it did break and was very fragile, because of the 2 belts. I highly modified the simplicity pattern and didn't do the princess? cut? I am terrible with sewing terminology. I actually fell down the stairs whilst preggers making the outfit last minute for C3. (I know, I know, stupid hormonal costumer...)
