You are probably asking yourself "why does she do this to us?". The continual rambling as I search for descriptive adjectives wears on the writer and the reader. It is such because I am so desperate for you to get the colors as I see them, I am unsure how various computers share this incredibly important detail. These silks are among my favorites! OI! The texture! The sturdiness! That is all easy but the color, a challenge to anyone, the tones slide all over, camouflaging any soiling, the shading is so intense that even color definition is daunting. Deep vibrant purple stripe blended into white and then back again flashing a pinkish golden! This is a fabric that will carry a gown, it speaks for itself. 17" Selvages top to bottom and a length of 1 yard and 5". Sturdy, strong, and workable. Heavens! I should be so good (the workable part not the flashing tones, I am a simple woman!).
