And just one other note - don't wad the fabric up. Every crease will be permanent. Good luck!

Spoiled no. But you'd probably lose some of the shine and crispness. It works well on any kind of silk I've tried (though I've never tied taffeta). Fix your dye with vinegar though, or use silk specific dye. You might also want to try with a little more than a "small" sample, something big enough to judge changes in the way fabric will drape, because that can change after the fabric got wet. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
