I tried making a dress from old bedsheets and it actually worked

I cut up some floral sheets I found at a thrift store in Portland, thinking it would just be a practice run. The fabric was way stiffer than I expected, so I ended up with this cool, structured mini dress instead of the flowy one I pictured. Has anyone else had a fabric totally change their design like that?

That stiffness turning it into a structured mini sounds like a happy accident. Have you thought about trying it with a stiffer thrifted curtain next?

Honestly, the fabric always wins in the end. It's like a bossy co-designer you didn't ask for. At least yours gave you a decent mini dress and not a potato sack.
