Fabrics - back to the drawing board

After looking over and choosing fabrics on Monday, getting them approved by Rebecca and contacting the suppliers, we have hit a snag. Some of the fabrics we wanted - specifically the dreaded lilac - is no longer available! So today after a catch up tutorial for the entire Midsummers team, myself and Grace have had a sit down once again with the fabric suppliers bibles and set about to problem solve.
 
A suggestion that Mandy has had that is apparently common in theatre design is that when we can't find the colour in the fabric we want, rather then changing the fabric, changing the colour is a common solution. With that in mind I have had a think about the colour pallete and have decided that if we cannot find a lilac option to replace the other fabrics, then the alternatives would be either a warm grass green or a gold.
 
After hunting through the catalogues, and finding a few pottentials in green and gold, we hit upon a combination of lilac fabrics that would work effectively!
