I have a length of what sounds like the same silk on layby. If it is the same, yes, isn't it gorgeous. Strangely enough, the name of the colour is 'Peacock'! :-) I'm going to make my posh ECW gown out of it.

Its appearance is similar to a coarse muslin. Sounds like flour sacking material to me. I found some gorgeous peacock blue silk - with a shimmer that changes color from the greenish to blueish peacock range depending on the angle of the light. I thought it would make a beautiful skirt lining or something? Would something like this be too OOP? (if it is, I think I'll add it to my collection anyway, but it would be nice to have an excuse) Annette M (someday I hope I can contribute as much as I get from here) --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _____________________________________________________________ Sluggy.Net: The Sluggy Freelance Community! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
