Well now, I am thrilled to have been set straight. Back in the dark ages, after I made my first gown, I went to a high end fabric store here in town and asked if they had any silk bengaline, because I had heard that it was also available in "real" silk. When I got to the store and asked the clerk if they had any bengaline, she snipped at me that they did not carry any lower end synthetic fabrics. She curled her lip and suggested that I try someplace like JoAnn's, the condecension thick in her voice, so I never looked into the matter further. Thanks to everyone for the info. I will post some links to me in a couple of my bengaline gowns when I get a chance.
