Scarlet O'Hara in a dress made from a curtain (or Carol Burnett in a curtain dress with curtain rod).
In The Sound of Music Maria made play clothes for the children from her bedroom drapes.

You beat me to it. I came here to the comments section to make a remark about Scarlett O'Hara. I wonder if the course developers thought of the same thing when constructing this sentence.

I was thinking the exact same thing! I was going to post a witty remark like, "said Rhett to Scarlett"
I thought I was the only one that thought this sounds like an insult. Heureusement, I'm not the only one. How would you say "The fabric of your dress looks like that of my curtains" meaning that the fabric of your dress and the fabric of my curtains look like each other?
we happen to be in the exact lesson for this, luckily. You could say "le tissu de ta robe ressemble à celui de mes rideaux"
Can the verb "resemble" be used instead of "look like"? "The fabric of your dress resembles my curtains."
"Tissu" (no "e") is "fabric", "cloth", or "tissue". It's the material, not what was made of the material.
It is also correct English to say 'The fabric of your dress RESEMBLES my curtains'.
