I saw this vender at the Ren Faire this year and the assortment was
wonderful. I had a hard time deciding what to buy. I found one that is the
right color for me and them had to choose the pattern. It was a hard
decision. I wanted them all. I bought the garnet and gold Fleur-de-lis
fabric. I showed it to a lady that makes costumes for that period and she
said it was a great fabric. It isn't the historically correct fiber but it
looks like the rich brocades of the 1560 1580. I plan to use my gabric to
make a costume similar to one worn by Elenora de Toledo portraits.

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
