Well, I suppose if linen can be 100% polyester .
What is it that defines taffeta?
I just snatched the *most* gorgeous piece of what I'd call taffeta
(it's heavy and it *sounds* like taffeta) at Hancocks for $3.00/yard
(WoHoo) with 40% cupon. It's pink on one side and lavendar on the
other (not shot, though).

Taffeta is a ribbed fabric. That is, there are many more threads in one
direction than in the other. If you have twice as many filling threads as
you have warp threads, the filling threads pretty much cover the warp, and
make little ridges called ribs.
