Ooooh..... That lightweight? I'd make a bliaut. Or maybe, I'd just roll around in it for a while (enjoying the ownership and all ;-) I'd embroider the hell out of it, too, in bands around the neck and sleeves.... I'd make a shirt out of some of the remainder, using the same geometric patterning of an English smock, and then, I'd embroider the hell out of it. Not sure if I'd do polychrome silks, or wools. Or I'd do an 18th century quilted petticoat. Or I'd make one of those 18th century jackets (curacaos?). --Sue
