This is the fabric I got from ebay - a solid lump of fabric, faille type and it'll do for an outdoor BBQ party :D
The flash bounced pretty badly - cos I get home in the dark these days. Leave work as sun is setting :( It's kinda darker than this, and not shiney. So my fabric's a bit greener, than the shot blue taffeta of the original garment ... photo is from www.propstore.co.uk via www.costumersguide.com.
It may not be perfect, but it's what I have and plentifully what I have. I've got a strip to do a burn test on next week (too wheezy with allergy asthma this week)
