Duponi loses it's sheen, becomes fairly stiff and loses it's resiliency for wear and tear. I dyed down a dark with white stripes [to tone down the contrast] dupioni in HOT water in the machine and it looked exactly the same when it came out....but now had a soft hand. Mind you it wasn't particularly shiny to start with. Made an early 1840s gown out of it. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
