I have used them in the past, for Renn stuff and 18thCstuff. I like how the
fabric drapes, very rich. Not sure I'd want to use this fabric if I were
wearing the garment outside, say in Pennsic heat, or warmer. But for indoor
events, and where I live, it worked out well.
There's a photo of one of the dresses on my projects page
http://www.goldenoakinn.com/projects_estela.htm
scroll down to the bottom, it's Gavlinne's crown tournement dress.
The 18thC dress fabric came from another supplier, long before EBay. It was
covered in chrysanthemums, yummy, and made a really nice sacque.

Subject: [h-cost] Use of Fabrics?
I've often looked at the fabrics at
http://stores.ebay.com/Renaissance-Fabrics and wondered if anyone here had
used them for Renaissance (general term) or Elizabethan garb? If so, what
are your thoughts? I realise they are not natural fibres, but what did you
think of the patterns? Do you have photos of finished gowns or doublets
you might share with me? I've got some garments to make and am thinking
about some of these fabrics.
Regards, A. Garden
