I am working on a 1916 designers' fashion catalog. I am not sure if something is a color or not.
Please read the following ladies' dress description and let me know if you think porpoise is a
color or what. The color "dove" is not capitalized when used as a color name. But the
word "Porpoise" is.
DESCRIPTION:
"Dove" colored gabardine, with trimmings of navy blue. "Porpoise" skin silk. Vest and collar of white organdy. Smoke pearl buttons and buckle. Coat of navy blue "Porpoise" skin silk. Collar and cuffs of "dove" gabardine.
My first thought was that it sounded like a type or texture of silk...
but my gut tells me it's some kind of waterproofed outer wear fabric
that's being used for this coat. Like Goretex.
