I don't even know where to begin, cottons are so much easier! This is raw unused goods with 24" selvages and a length of 1 yard. The colors are beautiful and eluded me all afternoon, I am defeated. My grasp of the tantalizing colors are one shade of lilac and one shade of wisteria. A beautiful brocade pattern is active. Even the lilac has an undertone of pink but the tones are vibrant and pleasing to the eye. soft and slippery, should drape nicely. I have a significant amount and if more than 1 yard is needed it could remain uncut. A momentous flash for a small beauty at the ball, sophisticated but still simple, would let her shine and be complimented by the gown!
