45" 20% silk, 80% rayon
medallion brocade
lovely fabric! This should be dry-cleaned to keep the texture and definition
but I've washed it and pressed it...the medallions flatten out but it still
looks great! The brocade weave allows it some "give".
This has been used several times for wedding outfits.

60" 50%silk, 50%linen
twill suiting
I saw this and HAD to get it. The colors remind me of opalescent dragons'
eyes. Yeah, yeah... I know but I'm a big fan of Anne McCaffery and have
always loved dragons and opals.
The base color is a golden tan and those thin lines of window panes are
'blush pink' and light sky blue. It is lovely! And it feels good too! It's
the perfect weight for a light jacket or good suit coat.

55" heavy silk taffeta with some small slubbing.
I couldn't resist. This is wonderful fabric but it came directly from the
designer's cutting tables. That means there are pieces cut off the ends in
strange ways. So I have small whole yardages with extra tailing along. This
one is a beautiful smokey, silvery color that I think looks like it has a
hint of periwinkle, but I see periwinkle in everything...
one piece left 1.75 yards long.
