most silk-velvets one can
Dupion and Taffeta I can get here, at prices that
are higher, but don't involve shipping from the
U.S. and the resultant customs duty on goods over
£25.00. I can also get silk/rayon velvet at a
similar price, but 100% silk is way more expensive which is why I was
asking.

What weight is the taffeta? Is it lining weight, or is it the
heavier sort?

Well, I am really interested if you succeed to get a 100% silk velvet. Me and
my sister import silk fabrics from China to EU and we visited several factories
that were specialized in making silk velvets, but they told us they only do
