In order to calm down.

It was better I vent in that last post than approach my child at that moment. We went to the store and took care of things. I am humiliated, shamed, angry, disappointed, and disgusted, and a hundred other things besides. *sigh ( Read more... )

Damn you...

Now I need to convince the Hubby to open up the purse strings... I really like that taffeta...

Why, oh why can't I be rich?

Oh, if only I could afford that second one for an Italian...*whimpers and wipes the drool off her keyboard*

All of those are just gorgeous!

What's sad is that I've been checking the taffeta page at Denver Fabrics every single day for more colors... And I missed this! Heheheheh.

I heart the orange and the creamy one. The only problem I have is that they're all 11mm, which is half as stiff as the red stuff I used for the Norris gown. It could work, with plenty of interlining and whatnot, but I'm a little leary about using something that light for Tudor/Elizabethan. Regency and later definately could work, though. :)

Sad? Why do you think I noticed it? I check more times than I would like to admit to in a day. I'm pathetic, I know.

Yeah, I have been using it for linings and trim (or have plans to can we all say bias facings,piping? and let us not forget hats) You are right though. The ivory I have is near paper thin, makes an excellent lining though. I have become totally enamored with silk taffeta and I think that the gold colored (or the orange, or ruby) one would make a fabulous petticoat 'specially with a couched cord border on the bottom... Do it like one of the embroidery patterns in Norris... yup, one of these days. Must make more outer garments first. Need more.
