<p>[QUOTE="Emalinedawn, post: 259395, member: 5024"]I'm fairly certain it's not Silk, but possibly Silk thread on design. I do a ton of 50's dresses, and this fabric is different than any I've seen. It feels just like a thick rayon Taffeta, not thick as brocade, smooth no ribbing on outer side, underside is shinier than top and robbed. I put Peau de Soie in my post here as similar, but just not quite. Its thicker, heavier, It's not quite anything I know lol. Gorgeous though. If doesn't sell I'm keeping for my daughter when older <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> Oh how I wish my 5'11 frame was more petite <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />. Although it's a size 8, I'm WAY too tall, I have to pull the girls up to my chin to wear it, not a good look lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
