One of you should PM fairyprincess. She can not handle the group order from Australia due to shipping limitations. From what I understand, she is happy to pass on all of the vendor information to someone in possibly the US (or UK?) who can handle shipping this internationally to everyone who was interested in being part of the group order. Essentially, someone else needs to volunteer to handle this if they want the fabric

I would be interested in the fabric but I'm still a little confused as to how much it is.

Alright, ladies, I have the info and I am e-mailing the contact. Basically from the last quote we need to order 200 meters which should not be hard and the price was for $5.65/meter but that didn't include shipping, which from the quote was to Austrailia so the total might be anywhere from $15-16/meter plus shipping. I think I will collect for just the fabric and then for the shipping but we can checking into it. I will also be asking for a sample. Remember 1 meter is about 1 yard. So start the list for interest here:
1. princessleia911 15 meters

So if the fabric is shipped to the U.S. it might be cheaper? I'll be up front and say that as much as I want to do this gown, I may not be able to afford to buy the fabric.  But I won't count myself out just yet though. I'll wait til we get more info.

According to my hp, 1 yard or 36"/3' = 0.9144m tho' at shops here those Cloth sellers round it off to 90cm.

I've had materials to remake this dress for about 2 years now, and I'm finally getting started. Heh. Bought a bridal 6 hoop skirt on ebay. It came yesterday, so I adjusted it today. Kay_dee had said her measurement of 36 inches seemed a little small, and since I'm taller than she is, and a little more hippy (you're just so darn thin, Kay_dee!) I went with 42 inches.
I'll be dying the fabric this summer in the dye vat on campus. All the fabric will get done at the same time in the same dye bath (after test swatches of course!) so that they all match! So far, I have the velvet, the silk, the flat lining, cording and now the hoop skirt. I still need to get a crinkle lining (thinking of making one myself) and a petticoat material.
Anyway, hoop pictures!

Your hoop looks like a good size Fenig! I think my farthingale would have been OK if I left it the original size the pattern called for. I mean, it really is nearly the perfect width. But I took the hoops in and made them smaller because it was my first hoop skirt and it just seemed so big to me! If I had to do it again, I'd take a photo of myself in the hoop skirt, scale the picture so I look the same height as Natalie, then compare to see if visually the width looked right
