That is a great dress! I actually have fabric like that--two sarongs I bought in Sri Lanka. I've been thinking about making one into a dress (it's quite a lot of fabric). My favorite (which is not too different from punky's fabric) was purchased at Barefoot (barefootceylon.com) perhaps they do mail order.

This is so gorgeous. This is the kind of thing you never find in thrift shops.

pretty fabric! alas, 25 pounds = too many dollars. :(
